i was given an appointment back in october to see a consultant on 24/12 at the qeqm, they then cancelled and sent me one for late february also at the qeqm.
i rang them to say that if i had to wait that long i might as well wait for one at the more convenient k & c, the reply came back that the wait would be even longer.
this morning i got a call to offer me an appointment for next tuesday at the k & c, may be worth others pushing themselves.

I, too, was given an appointment in October to see a Consultant, on 20th December. It turns out that I need surgery on a damaged shoulder and I will have to wait until July!

When we arrived in Farnham in August we started the process to get my wife's haematology care transferred temporarily to Frimley Park from K&C. After much toing and froing we have the first consultant's appointment on Jan 10th. We leave Farnham less than a week later to return to East Kent.

All East Kent Hospital clinics are bursting at the seams.
Appointments are postponed and put back........the very reason we need a `proper`Hospital in Dover District .....eventually
on the scale of the K&C..................

Yes we do Reg but it will never happen
all we will ever get is a glorified or should that be bigger Health Centre, even if the Health Authority choose to call it a hospital.

We could restrict the NHS to British citizens, only treating others that have the relevant medical insurance,
Another ukip policy that should free up NHS services

Yes I can make a better offer Brian
We could divert the £50 million a day UK conurbation to the EU,
And support the elderly and sick in this country
And the £12 billon UK aid budget could be directed to the British poor and needy
But you being a labour supporter you obviously couldn't agree with is!

looks like i spoke too soon on this issue, one thing to have an appointment another to actually see the consultant.

Geting back to hospital appointments rather than what party someone belongs to/supports
Its also surprizing the number of people who dont turn up for appointments and dont let the hospital know
ALL POSTS ARE MY OWN PERSONAL VIEWS

how about the people that turn up and the consultants that don't see them?

I had an appointment at KCH for a diabetic retinopathy check after my eye-test at the Paula Carr mobile unit in Pencester Rd.
I was there quite a while before the appointment, but the Consultant wasn't there, even after an hour, he still hadn't arrived and I had to leave before I saw him (whether he did arrive that day or not I don't know) to pick Jean up from Buckland.
I have a new appointment, but it isn't until May and my late November appointment was one that was changed from last July !

i think my consultant was there as a couple of people had gone in and come out 5 mins later, there was just me sat there for a further hour before i gave up.
imagine any other business treating their customers like that.
