Long wait for dermatology biopsy results

Story from nhs.uk

"Long wait for dermatology biopsy results"

About: Queen's Hospital (Romford)

Anything else?

It is a very unsatisfactory situation when someone may have skin cancer and they were told that the biopsy results would be back in 2 to 4 weeks only to find out that because of backlogs the wait is up to 8 weeks or considerably longer. A very poor service!

I am sorry to hear that you are having to wait longer than expected for your results. This must be a very distressing time for you. Unfortunately we do face unexpected waiting times from time to time. We need more information from you to look further into this. Please contact me through our PALS team on 01708 435 454 or email PALS@bhrhospitals.nhs.uk. Yours sincerely, Stephen Burgess Medical Director
