I went to A&E with back pain and had to wait for 3 hours before I was seen. The doctor was very kind and helpful.

2 years in April 2022 since postponed surgery

February 25, 2022
District nurses visit daily to dress a non-healing wound. Permanent painkillers to help cope. Surgeon does not even have a list according to his secretary. Losing hope.

Not received any appointments

February 16, 2022
A referral was sent pre pandemic to Urologists. Another sent April 2021. My gp has escalated it 4 times. I received a letter to book. I couldn't. When I finally got through on the phone I was told it was a minimum 52 week wait. Due to the issues I have with my bowel & bladder I am now unable to leave my home & had to engage with the Bladder & Bowel community for help and advice. I am still waiting for an appointment.
