I completed cancer treatment in Worcester in 2024 before joining the Victoria Medical Centre as a patient in early 2025. I was referred to royal Marsden Hospital NHS for my follow up care which has been excellent. I recently saw a GP at VMC for anxiety and depression and, at the same time, the GP recommended a range of blood tests. This evidenced a diagnosis of hypo thyroid and the recommended prescription has been very effective in treating the condition and the anxiety. I was also prescribed a course of Guided Self Help which has been extremely helpful and effective. I have also been referred by the GP to Moorfields eye hospital, on the advice of my ophthalmologist, for tests for glaucoma and am now on course for further appointments with them. The doctors, other practitioners and other NHS staff I have met at the centre have been sympathetic and effective.
