[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 1793052, member: 30007"] Hi [USER=149360]@misspinky1984[/USER] . My process was that I demanded that the Specialist Registrar request that i go on a pump from the senior consultant in January. I received a letter two weeks later inviting me to a pump clinic two months later. I went to the pump clinic and refused to leave until I'd seen the DSN, Consultant, Dietitian and Psychologist on the same day (they tried to fob me off with multiple days of appointments, so I took the slack up in their schedule). I then batted the DSN into submission to do a 1-to-1 pump start with me because I couldn't make the group dates and I was adamant that I didn't need to spend a day learning how the pump worked as I'd read the manual. All in all, I went from the clinic in January to receiving my pump in early May. There was never any discussion about funding as Guys operates on the basis that the money is there to be used. You just have to be a bit obstreperous to get it. [/QUOTE]
