I waited over 2 years for surgery and then it was sprung on me. I went to an appointment that I thought was a clinic or a review and it was actually for a minor surgical procedure. I was quite shocked & upset, but having waited so long I went ahead. The staff who treated me on the day were very good, but I’m upset by the lack of prior warning / communication. I needed to cancel work and social plans because of post-surgery effects, that I could have planned around had I had notice. I’m now very anxious that the orthodontics bit of my care might slip through the cracks. Overall I left the EDI feeling a bit upset and frustrated. I love the NHS but the communication and joining up of different teams could have been much better here.
