Having recently attended the A&E department whilst suffering an asthma attack, the care given could not have been any better - A nurse swiftly had me on a wheelchair without me even waiting to register at reception (in fairness, I could hardly breath) and within minutes a doctor had seen me and I was on oxygen. Following this, further nurses and doctors attended to me both in A&E and the ward I was subsequently admitted to (Acute Medical), as well as a pharmacist and a specific asthma nurse who massively increased my understanding of asthma and how to manage it going forward. I can’t possibly remember everyone who provided care to me (at least 5 doctors and 8 nurses throughout my 36 hour stay), but all were fantastic and I couldn’t have asked for anything more. Thank you all so much, you truly are NHS hero’s.
