Hospital referral

Last reply: 18 January 2023 10:24

Hi there.
I was given a colposcopy in UHG and am now being transferred under gynae to St James's in Dublin. I have a CT booked with Galway, quickest appointment in January.
James's have received my referral but does anyone know how long it usually is to get an appointment to see a doctor?
I don't want to be asking the secretary so I'm wondering if anyone here might know from prev experience?

Hi Chickaroo82,

Thank you for posting on the Online Community.

I do hope that you have received information about your appointment by now. If you have not received an appointment yet do either contact the consultants secretary in St James’s or contact your team in Galway for further information.

If at any stage you would like to chat to our nurses on the Support Line please call 1800 200 700, Monday – Friday, 9am – 5pm.

Kind regards,

Cancer Nurse

Please ask the secretary. I have always found them to be most helpful. They understand you are anxious.

I have also asked about cancellation appointments, but you have to be available at short notice.

All the best
