Dear Deejojo,

I'm sorry to hear that your procedure has been cancelled. Even if you're not sure that you want to make a complaint, it might be worth speaking to your local PALS (Patients Advice and Liason Service) at the hospital. I think that your hospital comes under Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust and if so, their details can be found below:

leedsth.nhs.uk/patients-vis...

I do hope they are able to re-arrange it quickly for you.

Kind regards

Emma

I have complained many times due to lack of staff on the wards poor nurses are run ragged. I don't mean the quality of the staff there I mean the lack of them. It seems when they are understaffed they don't have the funding for extra staff from the bank nurses I wonder if this is why your anaesthetist was not replaced... I have never once had a reply to any of my complaints! Lol

Oh dear I do sympathise. Had a similar problem a couple of months ago when they ran out of theatre time. If it's any consolation I was told they do everything in their power to make sure it doesn't happen a second time and true to their word I had my op on the second appointment. Hope it goes well next Tuesday x
