"Excellent response from my local health service"

About: Dermatology / CLIC (Community Locality Image Centre) Dermatology / Dermatology Outpatients General practices in Tayside

(as a service user),

I have an irregular mole on my chest. I flagged up my concern to my GP. My GP sent photos to the dermatology department at Ninewells hospital. Within a few days I received a letter inviting me to drop by the hospital at my own convenience to have some pictures taken.

I received a call shortly after returning home, to arrange a further appointment with a dermatologist to review the results of the photos. 

So within the space of a few days the problem will have been addressed. 

Who knows how it will progress, hopefully well (!), but if the continuation is less than optimal for me, then at least it was not due to a lack of care by my local health service. 

Excellent response...!

Dear Harry920

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about your GP Practice. Feedback is very valuable to all areas of the NHS, and I'm sure their staff will be delighted to hear that your experience there has been positive. Unfortunately, GP practices are not part of Care Opinion at this time, as each GP Practice is an independent business. So that they can see your feedback, we would recommend that you feedback your experience directly to the practice to allow this to be passed on to the staff. The Practice Manager can give you with details of how to provide this feedback to them, as per their Complaints and Feedback Policy.

With best wishes

Victoria Sullivan
