The nurse/doctor I saw really didn't have time, when entering the room she didn't even turn round, she didn't even say bye, I don't even know what's happing next with regards to my treatment.

Suggested improvements
Engagement.

3rd Follow-Up Appointment for Hand Injury which was originally seen at Westmorland General Hospital in Kendal. Open wound on thumb, was dressed at the Hospital but not cleaned. Wound was initially not healing. Wound is now improving with 4th fresh dressing. Next appointment for new dressing next week Monday.

Suggested improvements
Hospital should have cleaned the wound before dressing. GP Surgery was okay.

It took me one failed phone appointment and 1 pointless phone appointment- although the gp I spoke to was very nice-to see the doctor, so 16/07 to discuss test results etc from an early June ct scan

Suggested improvements
A little bit more patience and listening from the receptionist? No one’s fault in particular, it seems it’s a national problem, not anyone I spoke to or interacted with.
