Die öffentliche Zufriedenheit mit dem NHS steigt zum ersten Mal seit 2019

Well wait times are the lowest they’ve been for a while, I imagine that helps.

Been on a neurology waiting list since last June.

It still has a long way to go.

I have been waiting for an appointment with NHS GIC since 2019.

I’m genuinely shocked. My experience has been nothing but abysmal. I’ve been in chronic pain for 3 years, with little to no support. The GP’s are horrendous and lacking empathy. There’s no consistency as the GP you see is different every time, which suggest to me they can’t retain staff or they don’t employ staff full time. When you finally get to a specialist they do everything to dismiss you and get you out of the room as quickly as possible. The GP’s and hospitals systems don’t directly communicate meaning neither know what the other is doing. Information has been lost. Prescription done wrong. Information passed on incorrectly. Information acted on 5 months later than when it was received. The app is pointless as the specialists are unable to put information on there and have to post them to the GP to do nothing with. I honestly cannot say one nice thing.

Currently, I am waiting on a neurology referral, which they refuse to do as I need to try a list of 60 different drugs to mask the problem rather than treat it before they see me. When I do finally get the referral it’s a 2 year waiting list. If I ever get one! I am stuck left in daily pain and no one cares.

It would be interesting to see how deep into the system the people with the increased satisfaction are.

I could believe that people could be happier with GP or some areas in early stage, but deeper down into the beast and it’s getting worse.

Various departments booting you off waiting lists to meet targets, entire departments paralysed when one person is off sick, a severe inability to cooperative care. It’s absolutely draining fighting the complexities of a system, and having gone through this I think the only way is to rip the NHS apart.
