Access to your GP
Nerve Tumours UK 2024 patient and carer support survey
23 April 2024
This survey is now closed for participation, thanks to all those who took part.
The first port of call for anyone with symptoms or ailments is usually their GP.
The charity is working very hard to spread the word about NF and the services provided by Nerve Tumours UK amongst the GP community but increasingly we hear that access to face to face or other appointments with your GP is getting more difficult.
You can also made available downloadable resources for you to educate your GP.
However we hear, on an increasing basis, how difficult it is to access your GP for a face to face appointment, and how people are often dismissed, therefore potentially missing an early opportunity to spot a potential issue and obtain an onward referral to more specialist services.
We want to understand and support you.
To obtain a clear picture of how difficult things are both across the UK, and for each of the individual nations, we need to hear from you about your experiences, and invite you to complete the survey. Please take part in this survey if you have NF1, NF2-related-Schwannomatosis or Schwannomatosis, or are a carer for anyone who is affected by these conditions.
The survey will only take 5 minutes and is anonymous but you can add your email, if you would like us to contact you. Please answer the questions in a constructive manner as we want to help improve services for you.
