  1. Review titled Poor care on telephone appointment

    by runningmy95 - Posted on 29 July 2022

    After waiting a few months with symptoms which were significantly impacting my health received a telephone appointment with a junior doctor who unfortunately I found dismissive and condescending. I received some advice but was not fully listened to and some of my symptoms were missed. I found it difficult to navigate the telephone appointment system for future calls. The system asks patients to be available 30m before and after the call - this is quite impractical for anyone with their own client facing job role to manage or in a job where they may have to take work calls unexpectedly. I had ensured I was available at the time of the call and 15m before and 30m after this however had to take a work call within the hour window I was given and consequently missed my appointment. I appreciate I was not free for the entire hour time window I was asked to keep free and wrongly assumed at least one attempt to call me would be made either side of the actual appointment time provided. I was called twice on the day of the appointment but 25 minutes before the appointment time given and with a 4m gap between the two calls - which felt like a deliberate choice from the doctor calling hoping I would not answer a second time My mistake for hoping that the specific appointment time given meant something. Really very poor care and not enough effort made to actually ensure you speak to patients. I appreciate the department will be busy and under huge pressure but other departments manage to have realistic methods of seeing or speaking to patients and I am unsure why this department cannot do the same. I am still unwell and I have no way of actually addressing this

  2. Review titled A&E

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    I had occasion to visit A&E recently. I was treated very kindly and thoroughly by both doctors and nurses. Of course I had to wait for blood results but it was a pleasure to watch how efficiently the system was run with no lack of care to us all. It’s a big thank you from me for both my care and witnessing the kind and attentive care to others. It brought a tear to my eye as it does now writing this. X It was
