"Busy Bank Hol. A&E but good care given"

About: Chesterfield Royal Hospital / Accident and emergency

My partner recently fell and dislocated his shoulder. We arrived at A&E in an ambulance and it was busy. The hospital staff were very busy and there were about 7 trolleys in the corridor where my partner was waiting. I was impressed by the team, as it's incredible how many people it takes to assist one person with something non life threatening (porter, x-ray, healthcare assistants, nurses et ). Although there was a lot of rushing about and people with a wide range of ailments, the care was very good. There appeared to be some 'difficult' patients and a lot of elderly and even at 3am the staff were patient and incredibly good.

I've been to Calow a few times in the last year with different people needing care and even under the pressures that they have I'm repeatedly impressed and grateful for the service that they offer.
