Never answer calls

Sick of ringing and no answer. Have not been invited to see anyone it's just a referral to a doctor via a phone consultation and no help is given. I have a back injury and no pain killers were prescribed it's been over a year now.
After a phone call diagnosis!

My GP would not offer me a face to face appointment and over the phone sent me a referral to this clinic.
After a 12 week wait and in lots of pain I was diagnosed over the phone! I said I was unhappy with the diagnosis and want a face to face appointment.
This was declined and I was sent for an MRI scan (at huge cost to the already crumbling NHS) - that also came back stating it was not what my telephone diagnosis said it was. Nobody contacted me back from this department and I had to contact my GP again. I requested another face to face appointment - again this was denied and another referral made to this department. I completed an e-consult form with GP insisting on a face to face meeting.
This time I got an appointment and have now been referred to oncology - totally heartbroken by the delays and its impact

Waiting over a month just for triage

Put a self referral in at instruction of my GP for ongoing back problems. It has been over 5 weeks now since they even acknowledged the referral and no communication. My back problem is getting worse, I am losing the ability to move in any kind of comfort. This in turn is causing everything to seize up and become more painful. My GP's only answer is to contact CATS . They must know about the waiting times and yet will not do anything to at least help with the pain in the interim.
getting no where fast .

Ridiculous wait for MSK

I have come to the hospital today to make an appointment with the MSK services, when I got up there they have now told me it will be 2-3 weeks before they get back to me it is ridiculous. I am in pain after a fall.

I am here for physiotherapy I have been quite impressed with the physiotherapy team here they have really helped me as I was in a lot of pain prior to coming here they have really sorted me out. I still experience pain but nothing like it was. The staff and service is wonderful as far as I am concerned.
