Recently I had an appointment at BCH at Cowes to see a gastro-enterologist and my file was sent to Cowes for a gastroenterologists information and reference.
Around 5 days later, I had an appointment with an oncologist at Wonthaggi's Rigby Centre, which had been rescheduled from 2 weeks earlier. When I arrived at the Rigby Centre, I discovered it was a new oncologist who had never seen me before and unfortunately my file had not been returned from Cowes from the appointment 5 days before, so the oncologist had little or no information about my medical condition or past history to guide them and direct my consultation, apart from a few odd test results and what I was able to tell them myself.
It was suggested that I put in a care opinion so this matter could be investigated and hopefully it won't happen again to myself or other patients.
