This is my rant against the Health Authorities who guide over Blackpool Victoria Teaching Hospital. Being a type 1 diabetic since 17 (now 55) I have been seen by consultants as regular as 3 times a year up till 2 years ago - this changed to once a year in 2017. Since then I have only seen my consultant once! My appointment for this year was on the 29th April - this never happened, I received a letter in January informing me that there would not be a doctor to see me & my appointment was cancelled. I have since called regularly but have got absolutely no where regarding seeing anyone at the Vic. I visited my doctor as I have been having issues & he tried to demand an appointment at the hospital 5 weeks ago - this STILL hasn't happened all I received was another letter informing me that unfortunately demand is high & as such I may have to visit another hospital if they find me an appointment. This letter was 4 weeks ago & I still haven't heard anything. I am now looking to lodge an official complaint against my treatment (or lack of it) by the Blackpool Victoria Hospital Trust but am unsure how to go about this, so does anyone know which way I should go with this?
