A dad has had to go to A&E every other day to get a wound seen to because his GP surgery can't see him

00:00I find myself in a ridiculous situation with my local GP practice. I've got a bad injury to my

00:10arm and I suffered this over a month ago. I was advised strongly to have a bandage change and to

00:17have it repacked every other day to stop infection and possible sepsis. I contacted my GP practice

00:24and they were unable to give me an appointment for five to six weeks. I tried three or four

00:30times to contact them to see if I could get a different response and didn't get any. I was

00:36told to go to A&E. They have been fantastic with their care but you can see why A&E is clogged up

00:43because if you can't get in your GP practice you just get sent to A&E which is not ideal to say

00:49the least.
