2 years without seeing a consultant

Story from nhs.uk

"2 years without seeing a consultant"

About: Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust - Queen's Medical Centre Campus / Neurology

Having been passed from consultant to consultant then forgotten about for nearly a year by the time of the next appointment it will be nearly two years since the last time seen by a doctor. Have had tests but then not seen just passed to another consultant for more. While getting worse.

Not impressed with the communication.

Thank you for getting in touch.

I am sorry to hear that our communication has been poor and that you feel you have been passed from consultant to consultant. This isn’t the experience we would wish for any of our patients. It would be helpful to discuss your case further so we can learn from this and give you the answers you deserve, if you haven’t already received these from us. If it would be helpful to discuss further, our Patient Experience Team will be happy to help you and they can be contacted on 0115 924 9924 ext 66623 or by email at QMCPET@nuh.nhs.uk.

Kind regards

Simon Parsons

Divisional Director for Surgery
