"Appointments for Exeter princess Elizabeth orthapaedic dept"

About: Royal Devon & Exeter Hospital (Wonford) / Trauma and orthopaedics

(as the patient),

The care received once one gets through the appt system is great but--- I have an appt for a op on my foot, appt arrives and states if on warfarin contact pre assessment. Rang and told will have general anaesthic so need a pre assessment and put me through to surgeons secretary. Answer phone. Rang twice more. Answer phone. Left messages with my hospital number, tel number etc each time. Have I been contacted. No. This I have to say is the norm I have experienced with orthapaedic appts. Other depts are so helpful and messages get through to consultants. I hope I hear eventually as I would like my op to go ahead.
