Sorry you’re looking at a long waiting time for surgery.
I’d want very clear details on how the after care would work, for example, if you need any post op dressing changes, would that be done at your GP surgery or would you have to travel back to the hospital where you had the procedure. Same for any physio if required. Also, any complications, where would they be dealt with?

yes good point!

thanks
