You're lucky they return a call ! Ours don't .Hi,
I'm finding it difficult to get through to my local DSN service - nobody ever answers the phone for a start, and it takes weeks to return a call.
Is this common in the UK?
Where I live it’s really difficult. I was put on insulin 2 years ago after a gp referral to the area specialist service - no nurses at surgeries any more. They signed me off once my control was deemed ok by them. I need to see them again due to complications and was referred again in January but am told that it’s likely to be May at the earliest before I can be seen. I tried calling and asking for advice about sick days but they wouldn’t speak with me as I was no longer on their list.Hi,
