    Hi, I am 39, 40 this year and have epilepsy.  Hopefully I will get an invite soon,  but am not holding my breath!! Apparently I am in category 6, 16-55 years old with underlying health issues,  but I don't know.....
    Going off your age and medical condition, yes that is the group you are in, you may not get the invite soon, but you will get one, we all need to be patient and in the meantime take as many precautions as we can.

    @Swatteam my gp I not seen for few years just see duty doctor and the worse things is you have to tell all your medical history all the time even they have records.

    @Swatteam pls dont neglect if you  need help seek medical advice.

    They should have a practice manager. They should also have a complaints policy with a clear defined complaints procedure to follow. Or I’d be considering moving surgeries.
