Wouldn’t say it was ‘great’ !

Wouldn’t say it was great! Instructions on how to connect etc a bit complicated - hook up with medic was good except she hadn’t been told anything about my husband’s problem so had to repeat it all. Overall though it wasn’t too bad!

I was happy with what was accomplished. Jim Holland quickly realised that the next step to help me identify my problem would be an MRI scan.

Super simple and a very clear diagnosis.
But a video examination is always going to seem a bit skimpy, so we wait and see how it works out.

Doctor was very good

Doctor was very good, on time and caring. Appointment required MRI referral at Princess Margaret in Windsor. 2 days later they’ve not received the request. They tell me That Lucy book their own. Call to Lucy and told that’s not the case. Told to wait 5 days. Not overly impressed with the plethora of emails either.

Can't book in-person diagnostic test

Can't book in-person diagnostic test - despite trying multiple postcodes, it appears that there are no testing centres available. I then tried to book the home-visit option, but receive an error when trying to submit the request.
