Yesterday I received a call to let me know that I would be going to the Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre in Oxford to see a specialist in non-union of fractures (hereby referred to as Mr Specialist Man). My appointment is scheduled for the 28th of October and I need to go and see the sponsored patients department at hospital to sort out my travel arrangements, etc.
As the Gibraltar General Hospital is just that, a general hospital, anyone requiring specialist care gets referred to a specialist centre such as the NOC in Oxford when their care requires it. As we have a general medical scheme here which means we get medical treatment covered by taxes and social insurance, etc, the Gibraltar Health Authority pays all expenses associated with travelling to see your referred specialist... kind of like going privately, at no expense to yourself.
For now, I only have a consultation to attend in Oxford as Mr Specialist Man wants to see me personally before he decides on a course of treatment... that will be a full 7 months since I originally broke my humerus.
Useful information shared. I am very happy to read this article. Thanks for giving us nice info. Fantastic walk through. I appreciate this post.
