I was referred by my GP for an X-ray to my shoulder and turned up without a scheduled appointment, expecting a long wait. I was seen within 10mins. The check in was fast and efficient and I was greeted with a smile by the receptionist.
The radiographer was patient and understanding, and did her best to minimise the discomfort I experienced by getting my shoulder into the correct positions for the x-ray to be taken.
I felt cared for and that I was treated swiftly, courteously and kindly by all the NHS staff I met during my treatment. Even the short waiting time was pleasant and comfortable, in an environment that was spotless and welcoming. What a great experience.
