Having been referred in early October 2019, and had an appointment for November cancelled at very short notice, I finally received an appointment for Sunday 23 February. Contrary to expectations, the appointment was to take place at a Health Centre in a rough area of Birmingham. As I am in my mid-sixties and unsteady on my feet, I was not prepared to attend at this place and phoned for an alternative, preferably at the hospital site. I was then told, the first available appointment would be 'towards the end of March' - meaning I would be lucky to be seen within six months of the original referral. I have, therefore, withdrawn from this referral and will go back to my GP to discuss other options. My advice to anyone looking to book an appointment at Birmingham Skin Centre is don't even try - a complete waste of my own, and my GP's time.
