"Physio was working in the dark awaiting results which came too late"

About: Royal Shrewsbury Hospital Telford referral and quality service (TRAQS)

(as the patient),

I chose Shrewsbury rather than my local hospital (The Princess Royal) simply because of the much shorter waiting time and I was suffering severe pain.

I turned up on time and was x-rayed quickly. Unfortunately the radiography didn’t appear sure as to what was required, several weeks later I still haven’t heard the results.

I also had an MRI scan and four sessions of physiotherapy. The physio was good but simply working on discussion. The MRI results only arrived after I had completed the programme. These were quite completed.

A pity the physio had been working in the dark. Fortunately I am doing quite well at the moment buy I am a little unsure about the future.

Dear Pattern554

Thank you for providing feedback on your recent referral.

Unfortunately as TRAQS do not a arrange xrays or MRI scans I am unable to comment on your experience and the lack of communication between the departments.

TRAQS would have been involved in your physio referral and am pleased to note that the physio treatment you received was good.

It is not clear from your comments where you attended for the xray and MRI but if you have any concerns you would like to raise with the provider of these services please contact the PALS office and they will be happy to discuss your concerns with you and see if they can help to find out what caused the delay.
