We had no need to worry

Posted By mols555

"We had no need to worry"

About: Chesterfield Royal Hospital / Accident and emergency DHU Healthcare CIC / NHS 111

(as a parent/guardian),

One Saturday afternoon my stepson came in to get his lunch and suddenly felt faint, he had blurred vision, sweats and went very hot. We called nhs 111 we had a lovely call handler who spoke to us as well as to our 12 yr old son to verify his symptoms they acted so quickly after assessing him and advised us to take him to a&e. We felt apprehensive as his mum is in the vulnerable group and was worried about him having to go to hospital. The staff were fantastic in Chesterfield Royal, it smelled very hygienic and the triage process was faultless. 

We had no need to worry at all in going to a&e during this pandemic & would encourage anyone with concerns especially with regards to a child’s ailment to never hesitate.

Have faith the in wonderful NHS staff ❤️

Thank you for you comment, however we are based in the north east of England and it is more than likely we were not the service you contacted, Chesterfield would be part of the area covered by our colleagues in East Midlands Ambulance Service

Kind regards

The communications and engagement team
