"Rheumatology"

About: Orsett Hospital / Rheumatology

Service is shocking!

I'm only in my early 20's and I've been having really bad problems with my joints and other symptoms. I have something wrong with my antibodies.

Finally heard back from the department and it was a 4 months wait from referral to appointment. It was only a couple of weeks later that I received a letter saying they've cancelled the appointment. They gave no reason or contact details. Even my GP isn't sure why.
