my NHS no, 450-399-4506 during this lock down for Covid19, I was informed by my daughter who lives in Mablethorp Lincs, she had received a letter from her GP and from Grimsby hospital, as her daughter has an asthma condition so has been registered at risk, she called worried about me her Dad (me being a transplant patient on immune suppressants) and her younger brother (being a patient with poly-cystic kidneys) to make sure we were registered so we could get help if needed, I called northern General (were I am an outpatient on three to four monthly check up visits) I asked regarding being sent a letter they just referred me to my GP? I find this distressing my normal main point of contact regarding the health and well being of my transplant I now have no contact as the surgery is postponed (understandably) but what I do not understand is the lack of contact from Northern general no Covid19 information or guidelines on what to do if I get any kidney problems during this time? if it is not important why have I been having to have three monthly check ups for blood tests etc since my transplant in 2003? (they just stopped everything nothing! no what to do nothing! they could not even be bothered, but my question is what do I do if I get kidney problems or infections?
