My sister had been been feeling unwell for 3- 4 weeks after completing a course of clexane injections after major surgery. Her symptoms included breathlessness. ....pain......coughing.
We were advised to attend A and E, which we did.
We were greeted friendly and professionally by the receptionist.
We were seen nearly immediately, by Erin, bloods, ECG, x ray taken.
Then assessed by Advance Nurse Practioner Audrey and Lizzie (student), who ordered a CT scan for probable PE.
This was confirmed and explained very clearly and empathetically by Audrey.
My sister was then transferred to Clinical
Assessment Unit where the staff were all very caring, especially Dr Anna.
She was then moved to A 12 on Sunday for the rest of her treatment.
The staff here were very professional, especially after an emergency event that occurred in the ward.
Special mention to Kiera and Rachel (student).
We were then discharged and expertly looked after in the discharge lounge.
