"Urology -Does anyone know what is going in this..."

About: Royal Shrewsbury Hospital / Urology

I have ongoing kidney problems, and have Had a few tests over the past year. Everytime i have an appointment to go through my results at urology the dr it says my appointment is with, is never available to see me. Each time i have to see a trainee dr who knows nothing about my case. Its frustrating to have to go through every step with them as no ones bothered to read my file. I am waiting to have an operation which i was told would be done in october as it was urgent, yet i am still waiting for a letter. When i called no one could give me any indication of when this could be. This wouldnt be too bad but having Had constant utis for the past month, various antibiotics that dont work, no sleep and lots of stress, its disgraceful to leave a patient with these known ongoing issues and not offer any help. This whole ordeal is effecting my metal health terribly and is effecting me financially as i have to have so much time off due to drs appointments and pain.

Good afternoon,

Thank you for sharing your experience of the Urology Department with us, although I am sorry to hear of the difficulties you are having. I have shared your feedback with the Operational Managers for the Urology service so they are aware of the impact this is having on you. In order for us to help and support you please would you contact PALS on 01952 641222 extension 4382, so we can look into this for you.

Thank you

Kind Regards
