I was amazed at the efficiency of the trainee nurse who is currently at the practice (I'm sorry but I don't remember her name, lovely young girl though). My father attended for a blood test but mentioned he did not feel well to her as she was preparing herself. She asked him what he meant, and agreed he did not look well. I explained his symptoms, and he was also getting confused/skitty which was very abnormal for him. After checking his temperature and all other bits and bobs, she said she though it best we provide a urine sample, which he wanted to do there and then as he was in so much pain. So she kindly gave him a pot, tested him which did show signs of infection! She then messaged another senior nurse who came through to assess my dad and agreed he had signs of a fairly nasty urine infection. Within 5 minutes we had a prescription for antibiotics in our hands! She only had a few minutes of her time because we was only there for a simple blood test, but nothing was too much trouble and she made sure my dad got the care he needed. She may be training still but I think she is a credit to you and you have clearly trained her very well. My dad is now perfectly recovered and very grateful to her, so thank you.
"Fabulous budding Nurse"
