Very fast and efficient. Only confusion was providing a leaflet on pathology and phlebotomy with no referencing. It made me think I needed a blood test. Otherwise all clear and concise.

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.

The issue is not with HBSUK it is the disconnect between how AXA understand it and HBSUK.
There shouldn't have been a need for the call in the first place.

Excellent service - trouble free and extremely efficient!
It was a very efficient process - I received the call promptly on time and Joy was excellent in assessing all requirements. We came to an agreed pathway going forward for my injury which allowed me to have the physio I needed immediately after the consultation. Joy had a warm and kindly nature which made the experience all the more pleasant.
I would also like to commend the kind person at AXA who arranged this appointment with great speed.

Poorly written guidance
Poorly written guidance - incomplete and with poor standard of English. Even the GP surgery didn't understand recommendation so had to have a follow up appointment. Total waste of time.
