"pain management"

About: Queen's Hospital (Romford)

Anything else?

It take a long time to get an appointment for pain management clinic . for treatment and follow up . should be 12 week , nearly always more like 6 months . a awful time when you are in a lot of pain . and nothing you , appointments, secretaries GPs can do about it .

i am told its very busy and thats the NHS for you.!!

There are a lot of appointments cancelled but not in time to allow another person to use this space .

been with pain management over 4 years and been a nightmare , and i am no better , in fact worse .

need more doctors and clinics .

I’m sorry you have had to wait so long for this clinic. We have some problems with capacity for this clinic, which we are trying to resolve. This is a problem we are aware of and are taking very seriously. It may be possible for your GP to offer additional help with treatment or advice in the meantime.
