I’ve been suffering from Cellulitis in my leg for several days and an initial course of antibiotics seemed ineffective so my GP sent me to my local hospital in Barnstaple. I was dreading the usual long waiting time plus the likelihood of a hospital stay, however on arrival after a brief triage I was sent to the Same Day Emergency Care unit. I cannot praise highly enough the care I received from this team. They were sympathetic, courteous and very efficient, and the doctor assigned to me, Dr Gregory carried out a thorough investigation including my medical history. As a result I was promptly prescribed a further course of treatment, and happliy sent home. I’m very pleased to say that after just one day my symptoms are rapidly improving and I feel well on the road to recovery. All credit to this team!
