"Incredible care during a difficult time "

About: Queen Elizabeth Hospital (Gateshead)

My GP referred me to Urgent Care because she suspected a dangerous DVT - within 15 minutes I was in the Unit, where they had already received the GP referral. Tests were carried out calmly and efficiently and the diagnosis was confirmed - scans were sent to the vascular specialists at the Freeman Hospital and they were happy that the appropriate medication would deal with the DVT. Amazingly snacks and drinks were brought round for both patients and companions during the rather lengthy day and everyone I saw was really supportive and very pleasant. Thank you everyone - once again the QE came up trumps for our family and I’m confident that things are improving and that the next scan will confirm that.
