Never have had a complaint about the service from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well. If they didn't know what it was for then did they actually need an appointment in the first place? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly what I was trying to imply..Did they actually need a referral / appointment in the first place Surely if there was an ongoing problem with the ear / nose and throat then how do you forget that one was due ?

Isn't it that the GP made the referral all that time ago and the ENT clinic has only just responded? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ENT receive a high number of so-called ‘two week wait’ referrals for potential cancers, so naturally have to prioritise seeing these. And I’m not necessarily blaming GPs for this - there are patients too that demand referrals and we all know it’s less traumatic all round if we just give patients what they want, rather than spend time explaining why they don’t need (whatever it is). Personally I push back on a number of referrals I get, which sometimes annoys my GP colleagues, upsets some patients, and has gotten me a reputation of ‘being difficult’. But it does mean that my routine waiting list to be seen is measured in months not years, and there are very few patients who turn up not remembering why they were sent in (although that still happens occasionally) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, what's the back story? Leaving next week, to pursue a new challenge. I actually asked him if he was pushed, or asked to leave, or really is pursuing new things. He tells me he is, and I have no reason to doubt him. I know he does have other things going on - it's up to him not me however to publicise them if he wants to. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banker Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 1 hour ago, Manx17 said: Well I was up at the hospital yesterday and nursing staff are not very happy with Manx Care and according to some, many are leaving or have left as they just don’t want to work for them any more. Three wards are shut and the bed situation is dreadful. Mostly filled with elderly where each department have waiting lists and they are not able to give the care they were trained in. Wednesday on gyno ward there were only three lady patients that needed that ward the rest of the ward was filled with elderly. Their waiting list is long but they just haven’t got the beds. Food the vegetables are black, potatoes look like they have been left out in the air after peeling them, I’m unsure how the same happens with carrots as they look frozen not fresh. Taxes are paying for these services who ever is doing the food want to be ashamed and how are they getting away with it? The staff look warn out . The place needs investigating. Nursing staff are not happy across UK either, have you seen the news? Elderly are probably waiting for nursing home beds , also understand waiting list for hospice at present Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
