Whittington Bods next Support Group

Hello there

i do not know if u know this but this isnt an open support group.....i called kirsten mcdougall to find out about me attending to be told only people who have are having their op's done at whittingdon can attend support group..........sorry to waffle on just wanted to make sure your aware incase your not having it done there. (P.S.) also check the meeting is on as when i called to ask if I could attend I was also told by kirsten that the dates and times on the bospa website are incorrect. (cheers)

All the best - mejulie x x
 
I will (hopefully) be having my op at the Whittington. Is this a meeting I could go to or is it for post-op people???

That's good to know. Is it just a meeting for people to catch up and chat about their ops and any issues they may have? Sorry if this is a stupid question!!
 
Its not a stupid question! Megg, yes that is exactly what I was told, it is to talk to others waiting to have there ops or had theirs done already, they could be patients that had their ops done quite awhile ago too. I think there will be patients at all different stages.
It will be very informative to talk to people that have actually got the real experience.

Booooooooooooo. I can't go as I don't finish work til 6. Is it something I could come along to for the last hour or is it best to come for the whole thing???
 
I will def be coming to the one in August not 2 sure bout the july one x
 
I was hoping to make the July one so I can ask lots of questions before my 1st appointment. I will probably just go to the August one!
 
Thought I'd bump this up incase there are any new people to the forum who are going to the Whittington and don't know about it. I have asked work if I can finish at 5 so hopefully will only be a little bit late. Hope that is ok!!! Anyone else from here going??
 
Does anyone know the address for this? Work have said yay to an hour off so I will defo be able to come. How many people usually go???
 
Hi Megg,
Unfortunatly I cannot come along to this months meetings, Gary is working I can't manage on my own, Im hoping to make it for the August 20th or Sept 17th ones.
Megg the meetings are held at the 'Archway Campus, Holborn Union Building across the road from the Whittington.
Hugs xx
 
That's a shame hun. Would've been fun to meet up! I may still come to the August one but not gonna make any firm plans yet!!!

Is the actual place easy to find?? Is it in a separate room or just a corner of a bigger room???
 
Hi,
I have just got back from the support group and have to say I found it very informative!! I did find myself looking around and wondering if any of you lovely ladies (and gentlemen of course!!!) were there!!!

Hope everyone is well today!! Nearly the weekend!!!
