Waiting time: It was very useful to be able to book the initial consultation online and find a date and time suitable within that week. I had anticipated that by going privately I would be treated quickly but 3 months passed so my expectations weren't met

Checking in at Reception, particularly the Outpatients Clinic, is somewhat chaotic. Screens, masks, cross contamination of noise, other conversations in the immediate area and general noise and disturbance make it difficult to overhear what’s being said.
