Do I have to see his registar?

Postby Dave Dale » Mon 18 Jul 2005 1:57 pm

Just a quick question!

The past two times I have been due to see 'my' consultant I have been seen by his registar (spl). This is not a problem really but on my next visit I would be keen to see the consultant to discuss some specific issues with him.

Am I entitled to request to see the man himself or could I see his registar again?

Cheers,
Dave.

You can try asking..but if you are seeing him on NHS than its more a case of work delegation and importance.....if you have a matter than needs his input than he will see you........

but no harm asking

I saw the Consultant only once when I first attended the eye clinic at Taunton, that was back in 1993 or so.

Following that I saw his registrar year after year which I always took to be good news as there was little change.

Last time I went in November, I was summoned to see the Consultant and took it as bad news. I was right, I have been in RGP's ever since.

If you're seeing the registrar, I would assume that it's good news to be honest.
