Ipswich Hospital (Part of the East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust)


Referral was good

I was referred by my doctor and was seen by the specialist at the hospital. They said I would get treatment in about 2-3 weeks but I'm now being told it will be July, although no date has been confirmed which is over a month away. I've tried talking to the dermatology and plastic surgery departments a number of times but they've never returned my call and the same has happened with the specialist nurse, you're told they will call but it never happens.
