Spoke
to
a
GP
on
22/8
who
agreed
to
refer
me
for
an
ultrasound
for
my
gall
bladder.
Overnight
I
had
pain
so
called
111.
No
call
back
from
them
so
went
to
a&e
today
to
be
told
they
are
sending
patients
to
doctors
in
Walthamstow
which
doesn’t
work
for
me
as
I
live
in
loughton.
Managed
to
secure
an
appointment
for
ultrasound
7pm
this
evening
23/8
at
Nuffield
Buckhurst
Hill
who
said
they
just
need
a
referral
from
my
gp
stating
I
can
have
an
ultrasound
there
and
they
can
send
the
results
to
my
doctor
as
Harlow
wait
is
10+
weeks
for
a
scan
and
I
can’t
wait
that
long.
GP
agreed
to
have
it
printed
for
me
for
collection
after
2pm
today.
Referral
handed
to
Nuffield
to
then
be
called
to
tell
me
it
had
nothing
about
ultrasound
on
it
so
they
couldn’t
do
my
appointment.
Got
to
loughton
health
centre
as
was
already
nearby
and
thought
easy
for
me
to
grab
the
form
and
go
as
I
rung
ahead
and
explained
and
they
said
they’d
speak
to
dr
ally
who
was
talking
at
that
Point
outside.
When
I
got
there
I
was
in
a
rush
as
has
to
get
to
Nuffield
to
be
told
by
dr
ally
she
WILL
NOT
do
me
a
referral
to
Nuffield
for
an
ultrasound
as
I’m
leaving
the
nhs
pathway
and
going
private
so
I’d
have
to
see
a
private
consultant.
COMPLETELT
UNTRUE.
Nuffield
agreed
no
need
and
that
i
just
need
a
referral
to
say
ultrasound
and
everything
results
etc
and
report
would
be
sent
back
to
them.
I’m
now
left
with
no
ultrasound
appointment.
Been
left
in
pain.
Wasn’t
even
offered
one
face
to
face
appointment
by
my
own
GP
surgery
as
they
do
over
phone
appointments
only.
No
consideration
of
care
for
patients
here.
Have
now
reported
the
practice
to
the
cqc.
