Still waiting for my appointment!!

Hi I was referred on the two week waiting list and my last day is this Thursday and they still have no appointment for me. I've called several times to be told they will contact as soon as they can get me an appointment. I'm going out of my mind with worry. What can I do if they don't see me before Thursday? Thanks for reading 

  • Hi Charmaine

    I had to wait 3 weeks for my gynae referral and that was before Covid. I only managed to get seen at 3 weeks because an extra clinic had been put on, but I had to travel further go go to it. Otherwise I would have had to wait longer. Have you said you would accept any cancellations and be able to attend at short notice? There’s not much else you can do due to the backlogs currently, I’m afraid. I hope you hear something soon. 

  • Oh dear that's a shame you waited that long, such a horrible wait isn't it! They know I'm available to go as soon as they can see me and work are aware. I wish I could think of something else, it feels like my life has been out on hold. Thank you so much for replying. 

  • The clinics seem really busy probably due to the backlog after Covid, l was seen in January this year. I have date for surgery next week. Covid has definitely upset the way the clinic works they are limited in how many they can see.
     

    That doesn't help you but l hope you are seen soon.
