Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback about the Cardiology Department at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham. We welcome all feedback and would like to assure you that all comments are taken seriously and acted upon as part of our ongoing commitment to improving patient experience. We are very sorry that you have experienced a delay in obtaining an appointment for your angiogram.

If you can provide them with some further details they will be able to discuss the reason for any delay, and may also be able to provide you with clearer information about when you are likely to be treated. If this would be helpful please make contact via our Patient Advice and Liaison Service (PALS) team who will be pleased to put you in touch with the relevant staff members.
