"Endocrinology"

About: Southend Hospital

I have been attending outpatients every 2 months since April 2014 due to an overactive thyroid. In that time I have seen registrars, but I have not seen a consultant . Although an appointment is now overdue I have been told they are unable to offer any appointments because both a consultant and registrar have left. I have been unable to ascertain when they can actually offer me an appointment and it is a matter of concern to say the least especially as the drug I have been given is not intended for long term use.
