NHS Patient Forum for Unofficial Medical Questions and Patient to Patient Help and Support

Please note that we are an unofficial NHS Patient forum that can generally discuss treatments and / or hospitals etc medical or otherwise. WE CAN NEVER PROVIDE SPECIFIC ADVICE OR HELP. In an emergency call 999. Otherwise seek an appointment with your local GP. Our forum is for open discussion only. Not personal treatment or care.

Also note that we are an 18 year old established forum management company that owns the worlds largest construction industry network of forums. So if you post a medical thread of your own (in our private forum) you can refer to it over time. We will never share information with a third party, or any official 'body'.

Welcome to Patient Forum (Public) and Discussion. Here you can discuss with fellow patients all of your concerns and questions related to your own health research etc. These are patient helping patient forums, you wont get NHS Staff using this forum area to provide any type of healthcare or advice.
