Probably make it a bit clearer that you need to register first before the video call. However the Dr called me on my phone and organised an MRI referral, so all good in the end!

Feedback

Failing to promptly arrange follow up appointment since monday until after complaint.

Then making false claims of calling when no calls have been received.

Hence resorted to alternative treatment.

The reporting form was completed on…

The reporting form was completed on Thursday evening and the earliest appointment that I could access was for the following Thursday. I therefore paid to solve the issue outside of AXA, I achieved this on the Friday. Rather than lose 5 days work, I only lost one. Even then the initial consultation was an over the phone event so it would have probably been longer in discomfort before the problem was resolved. I judge virtual Lucy from time of report to date of first physical meeting with someone to find a solution. If I am in the UK I get faster and more satisfactory results by going elsewhere. It might work well if I was overseas.

What a complete waste of time!

What a complete waste of time!
The physio rang on a poor line and kept losing signal and then didn't call back. I then received another appointment for an unsuitable time. I replied to say I couldn't make it and suggested another time. I then received an email to say I'd missed the appointment at the unsuitable time and if I didn't reply my case would be closed. I have since sent a further email but without reply. This service is a joke.

The telephone customer service did not realise I already used 10 physio sessions this year, so we wasted our time in discussing additional physio.

No output from the appointment

No output from the appointment - no copy of report sent, not passed back to Axa and goal for making appointment was not met - unfortunate waste of time as little outcome.
