My daughter had a cough for two months…tried to get a GP, got a nurse practitioner who said it was a cold. A week later we try again as the situation didn’t improve. We got sent to a pharmacist who couldn’t prescribe antibiotics for coughs, get referred to GP who arranges a call back. GP calls back and says yeah bring her in the prescribes Antibiotics. Cough cleared after 5 days. 3 pointless interactions with NHS instead of one.
