"NHS at its best. "

Arrived at Leighton hospital in a lot of discomfort ( renal colic). Triaged efficiently within minutes and taken through to A&E unit. Seen immediately by Dr and basic obs and bloods performed . Very impressive.

Then taken to a bay and looked after by 2 nurses with excellent communication skills and empathy. They sorted analgesia and antiemetic immediately.

Within the hour of arriving I was greeted by an efficient, friendly and courteous radiographer who explained the procedure and I was CT scanned to diagnose the problem. All through this process I was accompanied by the same nurse for continuity.

So, touch down to diagnosis by scan and bloods and assessment took less than 2 hours! Amazing.

A particular thank you to the hard working, kind and reassuring nurses and doctors who looked after me. Thank you so much.

And to the staff who kept the area spotlessly clean. The unit was pristine. Well done all.
