"Botox treatment for overactive bladder"

About: Queen Alexandra Hospital

I was seen for Botox injections into my bladder following problems after a prolapse repair. My second treatment was 6 March 2014 when I was told by the gynaecologist that I would be recalled for treatment in six months time. I cannot praise the kindness of my consultant and her team enough. I was treated with dignity and respect at all stages. However, the promised recall has not occurred and my symptoms are beginning to return and will get increasingly worse. I do not know if this is an admin error or whether I have somehow slipped off the radar. I do know that if I have to be re-referred by my GP it will take upwards of two months to be seen and my symptoms will make the whole procedure far more difficult. I have no idea how to contact Gynaecology outpatients - it is not featured on the website anywhere.
