Both of my grandparents have required assessment and treatment in the Emergency Department and Integrated Assessment Unit in the last couple of months - my grandmother after collapsing in the outpatients department and my grandfather after collapsing at home- as they're both usually fit and well these incidents were concerning! They were both seen promptly in the ED and admitted to IAU for further assessment within a couple of hours. They both felt they were treated well and I certainly can't fault the care they received. They have both now recovered but the follow-up care they received means that as a family we can be confident that these incidents were isolated and not a symptoms of anything more sinister. Many thanks to all of the staff involved in their care.
"Great emergency care for grandparents"
