My Gp surgery called today , to tell me my referral for London hospital was in. I have to book the appointment online myself, earlist is beginning of December.
It’s for Guys & St Thomas. Just wondering if anyone goes there and can tell me what it’s like.
Hello.
That sounds good to me! I’ve never been there but isn’t it a Centre of Excellence for Lupus?
Xx
Yes I believe so x
That’s brilliant! So pleased for you! Please let us know how it goes. Have you got a list of issues / questions that you need to discuss? xx
I’m going to write a little list as I think of things and rank it most important.
I’ve got my Rheumy appointment at my hospital now on 13th nov. Which I’m going to attend as I need some meds now!
I am waiting to get there too. I think you will be in good hands assuming they have referred you to the right department.
I see a doctor privately who works from guys, it is him I am waiting to see. December is not to far to wait either. I’m sure you will get some answers xx
Hi I was dx there and dr D’Cruz I found was excellent I travelled from north wales the night before and stayed in acc they have there fir my app the next day . It did get extremely busy there and I found that they were very thorough I eventually couldn’t do the travelling even though it was only twice a year but am sure you will at least get good informative information from Drs who actually know how to treat you . Good luck with it all x
You always get the best!
Isn't that the Louise Coote centre. It is one of the best. Where do you live to get that NHS referral, not Pembrokeshire I take it!!
I live in Hertfordshire so it’s a direct train ride to London and then will be another train closer to the hospital
Found this via the hospital website, hope the link work.
Hi Loulamb..I have been attending for about 8 years now and they are brilliant.everyone I have seen has been caring and compassionate..initially had +++test eventually diagnosed with auto immune..Ple and Hughes. I go to derm and derm/reum combined..been st Thomas's in the past too..I'm from Leicester..(Yes the football champions 😂)..just wondered how your getting there..there is a shuttle bus from st Thomas's I usually catch to guys..(think it's for staff really but patients use it too)..I go by coach to London C10 from across the road..then to guys..( I Don't do underground 😀)..I always receive a copy of my consultation and they are most helpful..Generally I see a senior Dr who with then clarify any changes with consultant..clinics are large and can run late..especially the combined clinic..if you are given a prescription allow yourself plenty of time to collected it.say at least an hour as it's a tiny pharmacy in Sainsburys (which I cant quite understand?).apart from that the hospital have a great team of professionals and experts at what they do..good luck with everything and take care..xxx
