"Like they did not care"

About: Let's Talk Well Being Nottingham and Nottinghamshire

(as a service user),

I waited 2 weeks for a telephone appointment. On the day of my appointment (today) I was sent an email 1hour prior to my appointment to to say they had tried to call me and left me a message to say my appointment had been cancelled and to rearrange. No one had rang, no one had left a message. I had arranged a time to suit me and sorted childcare to talk about a difficult subject which now is not going ahead. 

Ironically I wanted to discuss my fears around COVID and that no one seems to care. Well thank you for confirmation that no one cares I will continue to struggle alone!

A few years ago I also was referred to the service by my GP. I was assessed by one of your team and was deemed not suitable for the service (i wasn’t bad enough, because I was having a good day) 

I doubt this story will be shared!

Thank you for taking the time to share your opinion. My name is Lianne Bowles - Business Manager for Let's Talk Wellbeing.

I am sorry to hear that we cancelled your appointment today. Sometimes there are exceptional circumstances, for example a staff member being absent from work unexpectedly which means we have to cancel the appointment.

We really do care about our patients and want to make this right. If you would like to call me on 0300 300 2200 and we can talk about this and hopefully arrange a new appointment that works for you.

Please accept about apologies for the cancellation today and I look forward to hearing from you.

Lianne Bowles

IAPT Business Manager
