"outdated information on internet! Rude..."

About: Blackpool Victoria Hospital

There is a lack of consideration for people with dyslexia and impaired vision. its impossible to have an adult conversation trying to address these issues. Not everyone has the internet. not everyone can see a phone easily. the artificial eye service don't put their answer machines on in the day except lunch time and at night. I have spent hours trying to point out the difficulties with the system and no one none is interested in the point of view of the user or in making the situation more streamline for the client. It is an atrocious hospital system. Disgusting way to treat people. Out of date information is useless time consuming and totally ineffective. Even the Pal manager has the wrong numbers on their answer machine. think of the user and be kind when dealing with them it could be you or yours experiencing difficulties. I hope not its awful...Now you want an email address! whats happened to talking?! it wants a required field that isn't listed eyes

Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry to hear that you have experienced difficulty accessing the National Artificial Eye Service (NAES) and our Patient Relations Team. We have checked all of the answerphone messages for the Patient Relations Team who work within our department and the correct numbers are listed on them. It would be useful to find out if you were referred via our hospital switchboard or from another department in case you were transferred to an incorrect number.

I would really value talking through the problems you have experienced in more detail. If you feel it appropriate, please can you email me at andrew.heath@bfwhospitals.nhs.uk so that I can arrange a suitable time to discuss the concerns you have identified.

I will also pass your comments on to the National Artificial Eye Service so they can review their accessibility moving forward.

Thank you

Andrew Heath
