Jax @liveotherwise.bsky.social · 02/08/2025At least the GP has made enquiries without waiting for the dietician letter, but honestly, I'm just so exhausted by it all. 000
Reposted by JaxLisa J @choctoothpaste.bsky.social · 31/07/2025This is typical of the battles facing parents trying to access NHS services. Our daughter's specialist nurse referred her to the OT service in the same building. We received a letter from OT saying the referral had been rejected, bc she hadn't included her email address. Make it make sense. 201
Jax @liveotherwise.bsky.social · 02/08/2025And every exchange like this costs money and takes time. I could save the NHS so much money and effort.... 010
Jax @liveotherwise.bsky.social · 02/08/2025Also in sunny Suffolk. Can't get a referral from dietician, you know, the expert in eating who has been supporting children for a year. Need a paediatrician. At least GP has sent that request in! 100

Jax @liveotherwise.bsky.social · 31/07/2025Locally, there's an ARFID support service. The dietician thinks that my child should be seen by it. But they can't refer, you have to have a paediatrician, so now the dietician has to ask the GP to refer to a paediatrician to refer to the ARFID service. Make it make sense. 440
Jax @liveotherwise.bsky.social · 31/07/2025I'm going to follow up at the end of the week to check that the referral has actually been registered. 110
Jax @liveotherwise.bsky.social · 30/07/2025I think the referrer assumed that getting the reference number was sufficient, but given the service can't even search on reference number (seriously? Who designed your database/ interface?) it wasn't terribly useful. They are resubmitting as urgent but it'll still be months at best. 120
Jax @liveotherwise.bsky.social · 29/07/2025They answered at 23 minutes. They can't find offspring's referral, made in Nov 2023. So we've waited nearly two years, thinking we were on a waiting list, and we're not. Said waiting list is about 18 months long, child will be nearly an adult before she sees the service in question. 320
