Ovarian cyst consultant question

Hi, looking for some advice. On 18th January I went to a and e with hip pain. A CT scan showed a mass on my right ovary but the image was indistinct and I had an MRI on 20th January. I have an appointment with a consultant on 31st March. My question is if I have had an NHS scan can  I get  to a private consultant for review? I'm frustrated by the whole NHS process. I only got a consultant appointment because I complained twice via PALS. Twice because my first complaint just wasn't actioned. It's impossible to speak to anyone at the hospital. No one answers the phone. 

  • Hi I still think you can see a private consultant whilst waiting to attend a NHS appointment. My auntie a few years ago went private because she was waiting to long but sometimes you can end up seeing the same consultant because at one time nhs consultants also did private work as well. Though with how stretched the NHS is they may not have time to do any private work. If it makes you feel better go private there's no harm in doing so and you will have the information for the NHS one.

    Hope this helps and good luck
