Rules of admin are more important than people.
I was referred by the NHS for a consultation in Ravenscroft. Suffering with pain in my lower back and hip it took me one year of useless Core physio to get these appointments. It was shocking and ridiculous to find out that I was honoured to have one appointment for my lower back and another appointment for my hip. This is because either of a very narrow qualification of specialists or is a lucrative way to get more money from the NHS?
Unfortunately, I missed my appointments because I was out of the UK, my phone was switched off, and I couldn’t receive their message. When I came back I asked for another appointment but I became ill with a contagious virus infection before consultation. I phoned Ravenscroft and asked to change the day of my appointment but I was told by an unconcerned and disinterested receptionist that it was my last chance and now I will be discharged back to GP.
No caring for patients, viva bureaucracy.
