"Great department, shame about the lack of..."

I've only attended this hospital once as I've recently moved into the area.

I have found the staff here far more helpful than my last hospital in Surrey.

I've now been correctly diagnosed with a form of arthritis and prescribed medication, after years of two-froing at my last hospital.

However, the appointments available are few and far between.

I've had to cancel an appointment in mid march because I simply cannot get the time of work (in Central London) to attend.

When I rang the appointment line to inform them, I've been told 'the next available appointment is first week of September...'

My last (and one and only) appointment was Aug 2015.

So I'm now waiting a total of 13 months for follow up....

Let's just hope my joints stay together until then..
