Yep, that too, especially the elderly, we have a campaign on local radio running to try and encourage contact.

"I'm well annoyed with the amount of procedures being rescheduled or delayed. My friend has respiratory and cardiovascular problems and her appointments were rescheduled with no phone/ virtual appointment provided at the time. She would be an at risk patient and she had no discussion about how to cope during lockdown. She also continued to work since shes a healthcare professional.

We have stayed open for essential nursing services too, like smears, imms etc. The late diagnosis is due to patients not contacting us until they realise the issue isn't going away, we were deadly quiet at the start of this, demand has increased ten fold in the past 3 weeks.
certainly in scotland at least its on the adverts constantly and I’m sure I’ve also heard it repeated over and over on westminister daily briefing that if you need the nhs for non covid related illness the doors are very much still open
when you say late diagnosis how late do you really mean? I know people have had imminent test and treatment in a hospital postponed, but we are only 10.5 weeks into lockdown ... outwith covid times, getting a gp appointment can take weeks, then a referral goes off, then wait for a hospital appointment and then wait for the results ... would have taken that time easily anyway and that assumes your gp actually puts the referral in first time and doesn’t fob you off with its nothing serious, change your diet and we will do some bloods for the first few appointments
i guess the flip side of the argument is the gps are not actually open its all still telephone consultations and routine services like smears/ contraceptive implants coils etc are all pretty much stopped (or pot luck) so what chance do people think they have of getting a proper diagnosis of anything else " | |||

"And just to clarify, the use of telephone and video consults are for triage only, we have continued to see face to face whenever necessary and continue to visit patients at home. There is a real misconception from some that all face to face contact has ceased, it genuinely hasn't and it is upsetting to think that is what some people perceive we would be doing" i think that might be pot luck depending on nhs area/ gp surgery we have had texts out telling us is telephone consultation the surgery is closed to patients | |||
