I visited the department, after not being able to get a GP appointment for over a week. I was experiencing a Asthma attack and not able to control it.
Check in reception OK, triaged after about 15 minutes. The waiting area was full.
Saw after 2:30hrs, which I know is far less than a Hospital A&E unit.
Staff brilliant, despite me feeling I had developed a chest infection, I was thoroughly examined, chest infection confirmed, medication prescribed.
Feel a bit guilty about using this facility as I feel more could be done by my GP's but it's reassuring to know it's there.
Thanks.
"Great Service "
