Routine hospital appointments

[Rubyrubyrubyred]

Are routine hospital appointments still going ahead in tier 3 and tier 4 areas?

Yes unless it snows I will be going to Moorfields 5th of January.

Yes they are

Elective surgery in Oxfordshire is totally cancelled (big teaching hospital trust)

Seems to vary. I'm tier 3 and it appears if they can do it by phone, they do
Haematology routine appointment - over the phone
One where I needed injections went ahead
Ultrasound scan went ahead

I'm in tier 3 and have just received a date for non-urgent surgery in Jan. Whether it gets cancelled remains to be seen.

My local hospital (East Anglia) has cancelled routine surgery.

Depends what for?

All my rheumatology appointments in 2020 were telephone (I do attend hospital for blood tests every 10 weeks and was advised I can be seen in person if I have a flare up)

My DC3 has a rare genetic condition and she hasn't been seen by her consultant in person for a year. Telephone appointments every 3 months. Same with her dietitian, PT, SLT and community paediatrics - no visits in person since Feb 2020 for any of these teams. Only people we have see in person is her private physio team.

Its a peadiatric outpatient appointment meant to happen early Jan. It was meant to happen Jan last year, consultant had a bereavement so rescheduled to April.. Will be absolutely devastated if its cancelled. They won't do this particular appointment over the phone.

I'd live to know this for East Surrey also.

I've had an urgent opthalmic referral from end of September and still haven't heard scything....

Bloody typos

Childs aug heart check up appt was delayed. We were told likely wont go ahead till 2021, so still waiting.
The ASD assessment has been cancelled several times this year and again bo idea when this will happen
