Entering Shifa Herbs was an unforgettable experience. I…read morewalked into the shop and was struck by how dark it was, I could just about make out some sort of partitioned booth which I presume was for treatments. A figure appeared from within this cubicle and approached the front of the shop where I was standing. Dressed in a suit with tightly cropped hair and striking eyes this was my introduction to Shaf Khan, the man behind Shifa Herbs. Shaf has a few different means of analysis, the most immediate of which is the examination of a patients iris and Shaf was happy to provide this service and offer an initial diagnosis before the mention of any money. Shaf seems like an absolute gent and I must say there is something about him which gives one a sense that he is a genuine character.

Not so weird now, is it? I have lived in town 6 years now and was chuffed to bits when I finally got a Doctor's surgery open up within walking distance. Located on the downstairs floor of Boots, from the moment you walk in you can sense the efficiency. You MUST book an appointment, however, if you are desperate and there are no appointments available - there is a walk-in clinic right next door. I have been going here for several years now and have only been delayed for an appointment once. The appointment times are pretty convenient, but as you can imagine; it's a very busy surgery. If you don't require an emergency appointment, it's best to call after 10am - if you do, call as early as possible. I've regularly had appointments the same day or the next day. The worst thing is not having a dedicated Doctor. The Doctor's and Nurses have always been great, but it would be nice to have someone you have dealt with before when you revisit. That being said, I've found this surgery to be clean, reliable and accommodating in terms of opening hours.

It's fine. That's as much as I can say so far…read more I was attracted to this surgery because of the extended opening hours and because, basically, they were close to me and taking patients. The staff on reception are very pleasant, although the morning I went to register there was only one so the wait was long. Intake assessment is a few forms and measuring your own height, weight and blood pressure. I gave myself 3 attempts at getting a nice BP measurement as the horrific prospect of knowing my weight after over a year of avoidance had sent my systolic sky-rocketing. I returned the following week to see if I was set up and had been given an NHS number and was told I was good to go. I asked to be set up for the online booking. First of all they gave me the wrong details, so I had to go back. When they gave me the proper ones, my account had the wrong address and they'd misspelled my name. I also had no option to book appointments. They fixed the errors when I emailed but told me to call about the booking. After 15 minutes on hold I was cut off and gave up. Multiple emails went unanswered. Eventually went back on and they reset it or something so could book. At last! It's not too easy to get an appointment if you work. The extended hours don't really seem to translate to appointments at those times. You could definitely be waiting weeks. On arrival for your appointment, you check in using a touch screen which saves time. It gives an estimate of the time to wait but that was actually wildly inaccurate when I went. It claimed things were running to schedule but there was actually a 20 minute wait. I occupied myself by almost getting trapped in their bathroom which has a very dodgy lock and using the Boots free WiFi. Actual consultation was adequate. I kind of missed the pleasant GPs in the random walk-in clinics in Canada or my lovely one at home. This definitely feels more like a walk-in effort. All in all, it's alright. Reception are friendly and it's nice to book online, even if it ends up being for the far distant future.

However, if we're honest, a big portion of us will need to visit one at least once in our lives. Whittall Street clinic is a free, one stop service for all your sexual health needs, offering advice, contraception, testing for sexually transmitted diseases and pregnancy, as well as some treatment and counselling. As you can imagine, such a free service in an age of government cut backs is in great demand, so either booking in advance or arriving well in advance of the start time of the drop in service is recommended (some folks turn up at two o clock for the afternoon drop in service that starts at 4.15, so great is the demand). Despite being rushed off their feet, the staff at Whittall Street Clinic maintain a cheerful and professional commitment to doing their jobs as well as possible with admirable tact and patience. Confidentiality is assured, so if you have got any worries about your sexual health, I'd advise you go and see them as soon as you can.
