I took unwell in work on Tuesday (I am a Nurse myself) and I called a colleague who took me straight to UHH A&E.
Although it was really busy I was triaged and then seen by a HCSW who took my bloods etc. I was then called into a cubicle by the doctor and assessed. I had many tests done and the care was very thorough. Although the department was extremely busy the staff were very attentive and an agency nurse Philip always checked in I was okay, he was a delight and kept my spirits up.
I was then admitted to ward 2 overnight and again the staff were brilliant. My nurse Lynsey again was really busy but made sure I had everything I needed showing me great care. The 2 HCSW on nightshift and dayshift both called Leigh showed excellent care also, not just to myself but to the other 5 ladies I shared a room with. They were very attentive.
I was discharged the next day after assessment by Dr McDougall who was lovely, professional and very caring. I can't thank the staff enough for making my journey a pleasant one as I was very nervous about not only my symptoms but being on the other side of being in the hospital. Keep up the excellent work during these tough times.
