"Waiting for referral"

About: Crosshouse Hospital / Dermatology

(as the patient),

Some years back (2017 I think) I had facial surgery to remove quite a few BCCs. The op took just over 90 minutes and I had over 20 thick black sutures. It has returned.

In April my GP, on examination,  made an urgent referral to Dermatology. Heard nothing. I feel like I'm being ignored.

PS. Another NHS consultant recently did me a favour and confirmed that request is on the system for Dermatology but no appointment has been scheduled. 8 Months and counting.

Dear bmc875,

I am very sorry you feel like you are being ignored, I'm not sure if you have spoken to any Dermatology staff in regards to your referral. If you would like to contact me directly on 01563 827923, I can look into this further for you.

Kind regards

SCN Lorraine McFarlane
