[QUOTE="mrspuddleduck, post: 862076"] Thanks Smidge. The GPs diabetic nurse doesn't see me any more because they referred me to the hospital based nursing team in February. The way my health trust works is its spread over five hospitals and appointments could be anywhere! So despite the Consultant referring me too, my two referrals are somewhere in cyber space and until they are allocated to one (of the five) hospital teams, I have no way of knowing who to contact. All the GP can do is re-refer ( in all fairness she has shouted at everyone!), and my own persistence has resulted in the letter I got this week. Now I have to start again, insulin prescription in hand, phoning the GP, the Consultants secretary and anyone else I can think of until I manage to actually identify the nurse I'm supposed to see. Then of course I have to wait for yet another appointment! That's what I meant by self help on the NHS! Wish me luck but to be honest I'm so exhausted and poorly now I'm almost at the point if giving up. :-( Sue xxx [/QUOTE]
