Communication not great with cardiology

The Stroke team referred me to Cardiology because I have Atrial Fibrillation they had to stop the warfarin. I had a letter to confirm referral and 6 months went by and I did not hear from them. I went to my GP who was surprised that I hadnt heard from them and my GP said did I want to make contact with the Cardiology myself which is what I did, after my phone call I had a letter from Cardiology within a week, so I went to see them who referred me to Papworth hospital, I found the consultant to be knowledgeable, and talked on a level with me and was helpful.
