Does anyone here have any experience of the Gloucester Royal Endocrinology department?

Please send me a private message with what I can expect from my first appointment and any tips you may have to make it as successful as possible

Thanks in advance

😊

You can name a doctor when asking for feedback on the forum, but replies need to be via private message.

A list of thyroid -friendly endos (NHS and private) can be requested by contacting TUK:

With any recommendation that you get, it is advisable to complete further research yourself before making a decision.

It is a good idea to have thyroid blood tests (TSH, FT4 and FT3) alongside key vitamins (ferritin, folate, B12 and vit D) prior to your appointment. This allows you to discuss the results with the endo at the first meeting.

I also like to write a list of on going symptoms and questions, as it’s easy to forget once you are in an appointment. I personally like to take someone with me to new appointments, for moral support!
