Warfarin clinic Altrincham

"Warfarin clinic Altrincham"

About: Altrincham General Hospital

Visited warfarin clinic today. No mention of appointment times. Was told this system is not currently in operation. Have just rearranged time with warfarin phone line for next week and the person I spoke to was irate that I said appointment times were not in operation at Altrincham warfarin clinic. Stating that I was given wrong information. Now let's see what happens next week. And what will happen at new hospital. It's a shame this happens because this service is brilliant and the nurses are wonderful. But it needs sorting.
