I must praise my DSN

I kind of got emotional after a GP appointment this morning which also meant I ended up going to reception afterwards before leaving and insisting I spoke to a manager and she came out, took my concerns and said she would get back to me.

After this I knew I needed specialist diabetic input quickly and my request to the consultants secretary the other month and the month after that were ignored.

So I sent an email to the DSN team, literally ten minutes later the DSN I usually see rang me, told me to ring back if I ever needed anyone, spoke about my concerns and agreed I needed consultant input, said she would personally ensure an appointment is issued and in the meantime would also post out some blood forms for me to take to a local hub that do them to get up to date diabetes bloods ready for the consultant.

She was great.
 
That’s excellent @MarkGeordie Having such supportive DSNs really does make a big difference as does knowing you can call them if you need help.
 
So glad you were listened to and got the result you needed @MarkGeordie. 🙂
 
Really good to hear @MarkGeordie

Good DSNs are worth their weight in gold!

Hope the consultant input helps you with whatever you are wrestling with. 🙂
