Given some options for physio with inadequate details of locations. Just mileage from my home, street location and post code. No reference to borough or district so impossible to know whether any of these places was accessible. Only way would be to write down post codes etc, and look each of them up before deciding. Hopelessly impractical and unhelpful!

I experienced pain in my achilles tendon and swelling for several weeks before I decided to contact Private Healthcare. I was referred to a physio who discussed the condition and recommended I first check DVT by going to my GP or A & E. I called up AXA and expressed my surprise at being referred to A & E by private healthcare. after several transfers to other departments, the final lady told me she would refer me to set up an appojntment with a physio that would be able to refer me for imaging/scan for DVT. A few days later I had the video appointment and the physio expressed that he did not think I had a DVT and he could not refer me for a scan. I have ended up with no scan and no physio.
