What could be improved
Referred by GP to Manchester Royal infirmary TIA clinic for urgent assesment. Subsequently told that they did not have any urgent appointments available, was given one 6 weeks after the referral. GP was told to refer me to another hospital if it could not wait. Surely a teaching hospital like this, with regional Heart Centre should have an urgent service for TIA. I was also told that there is no nurse led tia clinic and the appointment would be with a locum Consultant and would not include any investigations on that day, but I would have to come again on a later date if anything else was needed. This way off the NICE guidelines for TIA.
"no urgent TIA clinic at Manchester Royal Infirmary"
