Does anyone know if there is such thing? I'm fed up of keep going to my Drs and being shoved out the door in 2-3 minutes? I'm fed up being treated like I shouldn't be there and getting nothing sorted and no continuity any ideas?

I felt like that too. I'd been with the same GP for over 20 years and I felt like he didn't care any more. I changed Drs and when I first met with the new GP they didn't have my medical records so they HAD to ask me lots of stuff and I got a chance to explain everything up front.
What came as a shock to me (and them) was when my medical records disagreed with what I'd told them. Apparently I have several ailments that I've never actually had and some I do have were not even noted down.
Could be why I never received any recognition of those medical conditions!
I know it's a lot of hassle to change GP's but it could be worth a go.
Good Luck.
You can use the advocates service if you need to talk to your Gp. I am lucky as my doctors are great and give me the time i need but i do think its because of who i work for sometimes etc.

Where would I be able to contact the advocates service?
if you ring your gp they can give you the local numbers, they are based in the hospitals too , they come under the name of Pat or something like that.
If you book a double appointment, they tend to know you mean bussiness
