"Incredible experience at walk in centre and CGH"

About: Colchester General Hospital / General medicine

After speaking to 111 they advised me to take my 16 year old son to the walk in centre Colchester for further advice. After only waiting for 20 minutes we saw a dr who after examining and assessing my son referred us to Medical Assessment Unit for blood tests and further examinations. Our treatment was swift , professional and reassuring at both locations. The nurses were very understanding towards my son who hadn't been in hospital before and was anxious about having blood taken . We came away with a further appointment for a scan booked for a few days time and results for tests that had been carried out. I have nothing but respect and admiration for all the staff who choose our NHS as their place of work.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your comments, its great to hear that your son was seen promptly at both the Walk in Centre and the Medical Assessment Unit and that the staff reassured your son about what was going to happen with his tests.

I hope he is making a good recovery. Many thanks
