Unable to attend my 10.40am appointment with Orthopaedic consultant due to my inability to find a car parking place on site. I spent 45 minutes searching, visited the Brunel multi twice and the two other parking areas near the Monks Park entrance without sucess. Off site road parking is impossible due to yellow lines.
At that point I returned home after notifying Appointment Booking of my failure to attend my appointment. My current mobility issues, I have pre-planned hip replacement op next month and the appointment missed was for the other hip & a knee replacement so 40 - 50 yards walking is the max I am able with crutches. Between 10.00 & 10.30am ask yourself how patients are expected to leave the Brunel car at that time having been seen or treated, I witnessed Nil.
What a waste of time on everyones part today including my own in an attempt to see my orthopaedic consultant, I sincererly hope it is not repeated when I have a new appointment.
Quite frankly I am surprised and appalled at the lack of car parking at Southmead Hospital.
