Your eyesight is important right, especially if you are diabetic like me but if you are the eye clinic at this hospital they do everything they can not to provide a duty of care. On 9th January 2019, I had laser treatment to both eyes; this work is supposed to be checked within a maximum of three months of treatment, strange then that my next appointment was made for 28th May. On May 10th at my local optician, the digital photography to the back of my eye revealed more bleeding and eruptions which I had confidence would be dealt with by the appointment at the eye clinic on 28th May. Not so, because on 23rd May at 10-45am the eye clinic cancelled my appointment. Another appointment at bank holiday time cancelled and not for the first time; I have complained about this developing pattern over the past eighteen months to two years and there is no improvement. To make matters worse there was a call on 25th May from the eye clinic at 4-00pm but they left no message on the answerphone despite the fact that NMH came up on my screen but no number was generated. As stated in a letter of complaint to the eye clinic, this department is now poorly managed, unreliable and undermining duty of care to me and other patients. It has finally reached rock bottom and no one has done anything to stop it.
