The whole thing was very smooth and professional

"The whole thing was very smooth and professional"

About: The Royal Victoria Infirmary / General surgery

(as the patient),

Just a quick thank you - arrived at 9am for a "walk in " X ray and was in and out in half an hour. Delightful trainee welcomed me and did most of the procedure with a little help from her supervisor and the whole thing was very smooth and professional. Parking, of course, was a nightmare. All of the disabled bays full at 9am.

Really disappointed that nobody at the trust have read this, 10 month on. It was, after all, a compliment, a sometimes rare thing.
