Thanks everyone...it was a disaster from the moment we'd been driving just a few minutes!! We met the most horrendous traffic queue... The trip was only 40min max but we were getting nowhere so I rang the hospital and they said they'd ring me if they needed to cancel the appointment. The hold up was actually 4 way control traffic lights. Once we passed them Joseph drove the car like fury!! 
The Sat Nav stopped working so I used google maps on my phone!! Fortunately we arrived at an entrance (about 20 mins late) that was outside Out Patients. I went in to book him in while he went off to park the car. The car park was a long way away... Joseph's not good with directions so I rang him to see where he'd got to. Then I spotted him so we made it back to the right department again.
The nurse took his B/P....179/90...bit stressed I think!! She checked his temperature, weight, height & eye sight and then we saw the doctor. His name was actually Portuguese but not sure where he came from but no, didn't speak Spanish. He looked at all the scans and said Joseph had obviously had a very big injury inside his head. Then he examined him. He's ordered an MRI of his head but thinks his head pains are probably due mainly to scar damage etc. He said after he's seen the scans he'll advice him re some pain control. He could have had the scan this afternoon but Joseph forgot to take his lunchtime medication with him...AND he wanted to eat in the restaurant!! I didn't want to go that route at all!! So we made the appointment for Thursday afternoon.

Yes not too long to wait...shame he didn't get it done today though.
I suppose there are a lot of folks still on holiday, with the school holidays etc. Sounds like everyone had the same idea as you to dump off some stuff!!

This is a private hospital Lynne...that's why it's so quick. It's not exactly private healthcare but bridges the gap between the NHS and waiting lists.
Just realised...I'm the only (brave) one weighing in this week!

In fairness, still good for Private Healthcare, I have waited 10-14 days for different MRI's
Good lick "The Braveone!"

I know Jaffa and we walked round Sainsburys before coming home for lunch. We ate at 3pm...hungry wasn't in it!!
I've agreed that we can have lunch in the hospital restaurant on Thursday. He has an ENT appointment during the morning (opposite direction!) and then we can drive out there and eat before his MRI. With no rushing!

Thanks will post an update from group...
Scales 10.4 3/4 this morning so maybe a loss? (At group I weighed 10.6 1/2 week before last.)

I have in the past eaten at BUPA and Spire hospitals, as both an inpatient and outpatient in their restaurants, and food was always good. The restaurant at the Nuffield Hospital wherecwe have been taking Kate also smells and looks delicious, so, I am sure you will enjoy, and Joseph will be happy.
