Hello all,
I was wondering if anyone could recommend a private consultant within the Edinburgh area. I already have a diagnosis and have done for many years. My nhs consultant is on long term sick leave and I am needing my medication assessed. I feel I am getting nowhere and need support out with the nhs at this stage.
Thank you
