Time to get private health insurance or may be just leave the country b/c of poor healthcare availability.
Resident NHS doctor, SHO level. I went to an NHS appointment as a patient hoping to get a personalised care plan. I have been waiting for this secondary care hospital appointment after initial urgent GP referral for few months. Got to see PA in said speciality on my first appointment. Pretty useless. PA Proposed a plan that I had tried 4years ago (most basic treatment for that condition) and already way ahead of that and tried many things after which didn’t work either so basically wanted to discuss my next option. I decided to go private, it was better than NHS- however after spending thousands, I was still not able to see a specialist- didn’t realise until after my appointment that doctor was a retired GP with special interest in said speciality. We will not find consultant /specialist doctors in upcoming decades, actually we “are” not able to find the specialised care NOW.
