How awesome are Coeliac UK, I'll tell you. After my emergency admission to the local hospital last week and the ensuing problems with trying to access gluten free food, I came home and just copied in CUK in my communictions with the hospitals PALS department.
It appears that in my case there was a communication breakdown and I wasn't told something as basic as they had a separate Gluten Free menu (now I know!!) and that some of their procedures weren't followed for whatever reason.
The next thing to appear in my inbox is a request from CUK that the hospital do some digging into what actually went wrong.....this was a copied message. I tell you what, I felt so supported after the disappointment of the problems whilst I was in the hospital. They've kicked butt just for me, it made it feel worhtwhile being a member of the charity and is well worth the £20 a year they charge us for that kind of support.
I am impressed and really pleased, as I have had back up support. Wonderful. and Thank You to those of you that do this for us.
