My father had a suspected TIA a couple of weeks ago. He was taken to Daisy Hill Hospital and after 6-7 hours at A& E and a CT scan was sent home, this part of the experience was extremely poor. He is diabetic and sat on a chair in a corridor in A& E without food or water which exacerbated his symptoms. I know the hospital staff are under pressure but that should not have happened.
From the following day, the experience with the TIA Clinic at Craigavon has been absolutely brilliant. My dad was booked in for an MRI within 48 hours by the very helpful Bronagh. He was diagnosed with a mild stroke and has had both speech therapy and physiotherapy since. I can't believe the improvement he has made and this is down to the brilliant team at the Neurovascular TIA Clinic. Thank you so much for everything.
