"Disgraceful "

About: Southport and Ormskirk Hospital NHS Trust

Referred as an emergency to gynae by my GP last year. Took 4months for them to contact me, the appointments where then cancelled 90mins before the appointment was due with ‘the consultant has been called elsewhere’ this happened 3 times. Then they said I had to be re-referred. Another 2months later an appointment with a scan prior was changed to a telephone consultation. 9months later I was taken in for surgery at renacres, I had to take unpaid time off work to isolate. The surgery was cancelled at 17.40 the day before because ‘the fridge was broken’. So another week off work unpaid. The consultant who operated was not one of the 3 who’s names I was given prior and had no idea why I was even having the surgery!

I then developed multiple post surgery infections and had no one I could contact. My follow up was due today. Another day off work required.... they’ve just called me to cancel again. My surgery at the beginning of September & god knows when I’ll actually get to speak to someone about what they actually did to me in theatre
