They did take a while for appointment

July 4, 2023
Had an appointment with the dermatology department. They did take a while for appointment as they sent a letter and said if I don’t hear back after 7 weeks that I should be back in touch and they will look into it. After 7 weeks got in touch and they gave me an appointment over the phone.

Sent a letter and text message about appointment today. Easy to get around the hospital. Had an appointment on 18th April. Follow up appointment is today only after couple of months. NHS is getting better.

No compassion

June 23, 2023
Respiratory clinic - Pulmonary Fibrosis diagnosed recently with junior doctor. No compassion, information or support given about life long condition. There should be more empathy when telling people about their results, not keep going in and out of the room to speak to the senior doctor.

They should use clear signage

June 23, 2023
Dermatology. Staff has been wonderful. Reception directed me to wrong place but then I went to old building and waited for appointment and was told to go back to place I started out. Not user friendly, ended up late for the appointment. They should use clear signage for where to go in appointment link.

My daughter came twice with problem with hair and skin. They said it was menopause and then Thalassemia – because of her ethnicity but it turned out to be bladder cancer stones.
