Well attended my appointment today with copd specialist, had ecg and chest x-ray, got to go back on Monday for bloods and wait for appointments for chest, throat and heart scan plus lung function.
I am a bit disappointed I thought I would get more information about my condition EG: FEV and at what stage copd I am, but will have to wait again but hey ho I have only been waiting since May, so no rush then.

I still can't get over the shock that you got a hospital clinic appointment on a Saturday. My county hospital would be pushed to find someone to resus you on a weekend.
It took my GP over 2 years to acknowledge I had a lung condition. At least you are in the system now and it does not seem to want to work swiftly I am afraid.
After you visit to the consultant ask for the GP letter to be cc'd to you too.
