"Oncology"

About: Queen's Hospital (Romford)

Why do you not follow your own published statements on your own official hospital website and in your own published leaflet that accompanies the appointment letter and give the patient the date for their next appointment before they leave the department?

Do you know or even care how difficult it is not knowing when you will be seen again?

The only time this has been done properly was last July in urology, one out of 12 appointments.

That is really poor, to leave a cancer patient living without knowing when the next appointments are. As if it isn't bad enough knowing the cancer is incurable but no doctor can say how long you have, you don't even have the courtesy to follow,your own official policy for next appointments.
