Missed diagnosis left grandchildren suffering for months
We have been very frustrated with our experience at this surgery regarding our grandchildren's skin condition. Over an eight-month period, they attended multiple appointments presenting with a persistent rash, constant scratching that caused bleeding, and severe nighttime discomfort. Throughout this time, we were consistently advised that the issue was eczema and prescribed appropriate cream. It was only when we consulted the pharmacy that we discovered the actual diagnosis was different, which came as a significant shock. Our grandchildren have endured considerable suffering during these months when earlier investigation, such as a skin scraping test, might have identified the problem sooner. The treatment plan now requires weekly sessions over an extended period. We were particularly disappointed during one visit when my husband and I accompanied the children, as my daughter was struggling to cope. We felt the consultation was dismissive, with the same diagnosis repeated without addressing our concerns about why all three children would develop the same condition simultaneously. This experience has left us feeling that our questions and observations were not taken seriously, and we are upset about the extended period of unnecessary distress our grandchildren have experienced.
My partner has been attempting for several days to secure a GP appointment, calling at the earliest opportunity and waiting in queues. I recognise this is likely a broader issue affecting surgeries..
