The rheumatology department reported it to my G. P in March 2012, that I had a heart murmur.
Three times they contacted my surgery without success and they sent for me to see them at Derriford again in June to ask if I had had a scan. When I said that I hadn't, they said they would phone my GP about the matter.
Not until I booked an appointment with my G. P at the end of July did he find the letter on the computer. Upon opening my file he then referred me to TRAC and I received my appointment within three weeks.
My treatment at the express diagnostics for the heart ultrasound scan was excellent and very helpful staff.
