Hi everyone, just an update. Following advice to keep contacting the cardiology department secretary to chase appointments that seem to be ‘lost’ in the system. As I feel like I’m still not getting anywhere,
I rang my GP today and was told that because the gp did not make the referral, I would have to chase consultant follow up appointments myself. Feeling rather frustrated, I decided I would contact the hospital PALs. I didn’t do this to complain, but to try and get some understanding of the post inpatient system. They took my details and said they would contact the cardiology department. Apparently they have 7 days to respond to me. If they don’t, then I am advised to speak tomPALs again. Hopefully this will be a prod in the right direction. I just want answers and to get on with my life. I am currently a cardiac bore😳
