My appointment came quick and it went well, I felt heard and understood. I asked how long my treatment would last and was told it depended on how I took to it. I was discharged after 2 weeks as due to things I had put in place for my thyroid I was told you are doing most of it anyway". I rang about a month later and had to leave a message, I told them I was really struggling and they never replied

Fantastic service. I was actually listened to by the consultant and had education and support from my therapist . They helped me understand and manage my condition and provided support with ill health retirement and equipment.
