Weals which were painful and itching started to appear last Friday. Given steroids and antihistamines by the advanced nursing practitioner at my local surgery.
Condition spread rapidly over the weekend and the advanced nursing practitioner made a home visit on the Monday, took photos and emailed dermatology Crosshouse Hospital at 1:30pm.
I received a phone call from the hospital at 1:50pm and was invited to come for an immediate consultation with the consultant dermatologist, Dr. Honan. Excellent service! Blood samples taken and an enhanced steroid and antihistamine programme started.
Follow-up appointment today showed marked improvement and follow-up consultations are in place. Felt very reassured and so impressed with the empathetic and professional care I have received from all staff, especially Dr. Honan, who kept me informed when her very busy clinic was running behind time.
"Excellent service for urticaria vasculitis"
