Follow up appointment

"Follow up appointment"

About: Queen's Hospital (Romford)

I had a 3.20pm appointment with Team 1 Fracture Clinic yesterday, 2nd August.

I arrived early for my appointment which was not a problem to me.

I finally saw a doctor at 5.55pm!

It was a long wait in a corridor with many other patients who were quite patient considering we had all been waiting at least 2 and a half hours for our appointment.

There must be a better system than this.

All the staff were very nice and courteous throughout and apologised to many of the patients for the delay.
