My consultant referred me for specialist treatment in May 2025. I had the next appointment my assessment in August 2026 and am currently waiting for treatment. Feeling anxious regarding this I called the Pain Clinic, looking for information when I may expect an appointment. I was informed they were unable to give me any indication on when that could be. Not even approximately. But that it was a long list and I was only recently added to it. Found this basic lack of information unfair and lacking in care and compassion with little understanding of those living daily with chronic pain . I feel it shows a broken system delivering poor patient care.
