Dangerous negligence led to missed cancer diagnoses
We abandoned this medical practice around 3-4 years back due to their significant error in postponing my wife's ovarian cancer diagnosis. Personally, I consulted them 5 years ago regarding a concerning mole on my torso, and they casually assured me it looked fine, suggesting I return only if it enlarged. Despite the mole remaining unchanged, a recent biopsy has revealed it to be Malignant Melanoma. These aging physicians clearly need to step down, as they are demonstrably incompetent. The simple task of referring me to a dermatologist was apparently too much effort, and I suspect the doctor was reluctant to complete the necessary referral paperwork.

6 years agoSorry to hear that about both you and your wife. We hope that you have since had/are currently getting the best treatment possible. I cannot comment on why a referral wasn't done at the time due to the amount of time that has passed. We would need your consent to re-access any electronic records to even look at this. I can however state that all of our GPs work diligently to ensure correct local NHS policy and NICE guidance is followed for any referrals, including for suspected cancer, and the suggestion that one of our GPs wouldn't refer because they couldn't be bothered is quite serious. Any time a cancer diagnosis could've been made earlier a GP should be notified so that they can review their actions to see if they did all they could have done. If you would like us to investigate this further please write to us with your consent to access your medical records and contact info to investigate further.
The employees are putting in considerable effort despite being quite overwhelmed. There have been some technical issues with the phone lines, though these might have been addressed recently. If you..
