Free home deliveries? Strewth, they must be making an arm and a leg if they're offering this.

It's certainly an unusual business model.
Perhaps they should consider introducing an "NHS Prime" subscription model.
Where the public pays say £99 per year to get "enhanced" services.
Like a VIP lane at the GP, no waiting required.
Plus the "free" delivery of medications from the GP and/or pharmacy.
Maybe also include a "NHS Prime Video" service, where we could get to watch up-close videos of surgical procedures, all in the comfort of our own homes.

I was quite shocked to discover that 'private' patients overwhelmingly go to their NHS GP's. But that was in the days when you could see your GP in this calendar year so it might have changed.

* I was overjoyed to find a dentist taking on new NHS patients in my neighbourhood.
* I was overjoyed by the treatment I got.
* I was underjoyed when, trying to get an appointment, there is an answering machine.
* I am in a moderate anxiety state that this does not result in them 'getting back to me'.
| What is the etiquette about reminding them? |
* If you do it later in the day, it shows undue impatience.
* If you do it every day, you are a stalker.
* If you do it every few days, it shows there's nothing seriously wrong with your teeth.
This is not an unimportant consideration. Unlike private dentists, NHS dentists are so scarce they can afford to pick and choose their patients.

I did them a grave injustice. I had forgotten it was (a) the weekend and (b) Bank Holiday Monday. They rang me today and gave me an appointment tomorrow.
