"Eye injections"

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to learn that you and your mother had such a long wait at the Manchester Royal Eye Hospital and that this seems to be a recurring situation and an experience that is not as positive as we would wish for patients at the Macular Treatment Centre. It is important to us that comments are heard and seen as an opportunity provided to the service to make changes and improvements wherever possible.

In response to your comment, I can assure you that we are reviewing the appointment systems within the Macular service and considering how we can make improvements. Your concerns have also been raised directly with the department and staff involved so that they can reflect on how to best keep patients informed of the waiting times during clinic sessions and the reason for any delays.

It is difficult to respond to all the posts in a full way often because of a lack of detailed information. We would like to discuss this with us in more detail with you and ask you to please contact the Patient Advice and Liaison Service on 0161 276 8686 or by e-mailing pals@cmft.nhs.uk so we can look into your specific experiences more fully.
