Are you facing a shortage of doctors or specialists in your area?

It’s extremely hard to get face to face appointment in my town.

its 108 miles to the main hospital.

ihave waited for one year to see an oncologist re my cancer.

I have waited two and half years for a pain clinic appointment.

hi all. im new here. im confused how this all works tbh

GPs & Specialists, including dentistry, working for the NHS in this area (North Wales), have been using the so-called Coronavirus Pandemic and the advice of the Health Authority ("if you even just feel you MIGHT be vulnerable, stay away") to neglect their duties. Getting paid out of the public purse to stay away from work - playing golf or watching 'Loose Women', leaving the nurses, inexperienced graduates, and students to bear the brunt of the publics' needs. And THEY have done their best. Waiting for 3yrs to get an important follow-up appointment. Surprising how it only affected the NHS! Private practice still functioned, but just took widely available precautions. When you know that, you realise what a dysfunctional organisation the NHS has become.

We can’t get a face to face appointment for weeks.

inwaited over a year to see oncologist then had to get my cancer surgery done privately and I’m only on a pension.

have had a big lump in my breast since November. Been examined by a nurse then a gp who sent it to the breast clinic. They have now returned it to the gp to check me again. This is delaying my. Scan even longer. I’m devastated
