Default Referral to Specialists - How Long??

I saw my GP today to say I was diagnosed with PCOS during treatment to get Pg and to start the ball rolling so to speak. I have to admit I was really nervous and expecting a bad response. I am so glad I went now, after putting it off for so long. My Doc was really helpful and once a little research has been done will refer me to the right people who can help. I'm sooooo chuffed. I feel a bit brighter about things now and hope I can get it sorted out. I'm just wondering how long it will take to get an appointment after being referred - does anyone out there have any ideas? Knowing the NHS it will probably be ages!

So glad you appointment went well. A supportive GP is a wonderful thing. It depends on where you live, but I got referred to the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary and it took about three months. My appointmentr card came through a while before the actual date so I knew what was hapening. That was for the centre for reproductive health.

Hi

Im so glad that your appointment went well My appointment date came about a week later and I had to wait about three months for the date. But like you say you know what the NHS is like, but at least the ball is rolling

Default Thanks!

Cheers folks for the heads up!! Three months actually is a lot better than I expected and I could live with that!!!

I really appreciate your time answering my question.

Thanks again.
