A long wait

February 12, 2024
My daughter had to wait 4 hours. If it was me I would stay at home but if its kids you have to take them when you can't see a GP. They treated my daughter good but it was a long waiting time.

10 month waiting list

February 7, 2024
I was referred for dietary treatment and saw a specialist. I called to see how long the wait would be and I was informed 10 months. In that time I have no idea what to do. What diet to follow also. I want to lose weight. I go to health checks but I am not happy to wait that long. It's been 4 months so far.

Went to A&E and was operated on the same day

February 6, 2024
I had appendicitis and my GP wanted me to wait 2 weeks so I ended up listening to my gut and went to A&E. They operated on me the same day. I am glad I listened and didn't wait or I wouldn't be here now. The care was brilliant and the hospital was clean.

Ended up in A&E with severe eczema which was affecting my breathing. I had already been the GP several times so I listened to my gut. They were helpful and got me treatment. They helped me to get the eczema under control.
