After a fall from a horse I was taken to A &E via ambulance, was treated thoroughly and quickly listening to my husbands comments and noting his concerns.
After 2 weeks I returned to the fracture clinic. Again no waiting time to see the consultant, few minutes wait at X-ray and was told that I needed an operation, all paperwork was done there and then and I was admitted on Tuesday for my procedure. Very professional in admissions, even though the waiting area was busy, I was seen by an anaesthetist and was ready to be operated on in a couple of hours.
After my procedure I had to stay overnight as I had a reaction to the anaesthetic , I was transferred to surgery centre recovery. Very clean , nice and quiet , small with great staff. Good menu choices (if hungry) . Was offered help with a shower / wash and the nurse that did my cannula was very gentle.
All together a positive experience.
