Hi my dad was admitted to Forth Valley at the end of Jan after losing consciousness whilst in the garden sustaining a head injury. After CT scan they discovered a cystic brain lesion which required further investigation at the advice of Neuro based in NHS Lothian.
He was kept as an inpatient for an MRI as a result. The team overseeing him were excellent and wanted him to remain an inpatient until they received further advice from Edinburgh as to what his care plan should be. He was discharged on the next day with feedback that Neuro would be discussing his case as an MDT on the next day and advised that he would hear from them in due course.
We are now a week down the line and have had nothing. He made an appointment with his GP which he attended today who has not received any correspondence from Neuro and only had notice of his stay in FV. As you can imagine, as a family we are very worried and eager to know what the results were and what the plan will be for my dad. I have attempted to contact NHS Lothian DCN dept on numerous occasions to no avail - I have tried numerous numbers from the website that all just ring out and/or are cut off. Can someone please assist us with where we go from here?
