"New appointment and support needed"

About: North West Boroughs Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust

(as the patient),

I missed an appointment for my feet 6 months ago because my jacket was stolen and my card was in my jacket. I went to Sherwood Drive Health Centre and was told they would ring me and send out a fresh appointment, this has still not happened and I really need them doing. They did a good job when I was there and I want to go there again, and I am disappointed that I have not had an appointment as I used to go every 3 months and it was a good service.

Also I used to go and see a psychiatrist 2 years ago and it was always really brief he used to say keep taking the tablets and I will see you in 3 or 6 months. He never seemed to be bothered or listen to how I was. Sometimes he was late and did not apologise. One time he was talking into his machine as I was trying to talk. Now I do not even know whether I am on any list.
