I have an appointment scheduled with CX in March relating to a second opinion for surgery. My primary GIC is Porterbrook in Sheffield, with Professor Kevan Wylie.
I'm unsure which party would be the "second" opinion in this case, although I do know that Porterbrook and Professor Wylie had to do some negotiation for his opinion to stand. Charing Cross had demanded that they refer to their own preferred candidate for second opinion. It is my understanding that this has since been resolved, and that I am the first patient to go to CX from Porterbrook under this arrangement.
This process was set in motion for my stated minor preference for London for surgery, both in terms of location and surgeon (the alternative was Leicester). Despite stating this was a relatively minor preference, it appears Porterbrook have worked hard to achieve this.
