booking an appointment through DART

"booking an appointment through DART"

About: Devon Access and Referral Team (DART)

(as the patient),

I phoned to make a booking and eventually we found a suitable date and time. When I went for my appointment at the surgery there was no record of this booking!

Fortunately it wasn't very urgent or worrying, though the prospect of a two month wait for another did not appeal.

Even more fortunately the lovely dermatologist fitted me in, and the care was excellent.
