"Excellent cardiology care"

As a patient with a congenital heart under the care of Bart hospital, on finding that I was having a constantly rising pulse and breathlessness, I consulted the Nurses on the GUCH team who recommended that I should have an ECG with them if possible but if not by the GP who would relay this back to them if necessary. The GP advised that  that I should go to A and E.

On checking in I said I thought I might have a cardiac problem.

With in 5 minutes I was taken through, met by a doctor and assistant who did an ECG. I was then admitted into A and E.

I was seen by the cardiology team who decided to admit me to Medical Acute unit.  There I had constant monitor put in place .

After one night, I was transferred to Meadvale ward where I remained for I week under the excellent care of the Cardiology team of doctors.

The care I received throughout  was exemplary!

Nothing was too much trouble. Everything was was explained to me, I was kept informed right along the way.

I was treated with courtesy and kindness throughout.

All the staff, doctors, nurses, assistants  catering staff and pharmacy staff 

gave  me reassurance at all times.

I was impressed by the cleanliness and attention  to detail shown by all  in whatever capacity they were working.

Thank you East Surrey. It was a pleasurable and reassuring experience being under your care.
