Can't get appointment despite urgent 14 day referral

GP thinks i have a nodal melanoma - v. Scary. Referred me for an urgent appointment ie within 14 days. Clinic says they have no appointments in the next 14 days. Am in a terrifying limbo. How do I get seen?

  • Hi Sanekate. I know how you feel.  I was fast tracked by GP on 20/03/22 for suspect melanoma on my scalpe. I can't see it so I'm thankful that he did and took action. Should have been seen by dermatology within 14 days but Due to covid and jubilee I only got an appointmEnt last Tuesday for next Wednesday - 33 days.  I certainly hope we are both in the 50% who are told non malignant at first appointment.  Good luck.
