High Blood Pressure

Posted By Jake R

"High Blood Pressure"

About: Aberdeen Royal Infirmary / Cardiology / Coronary Care Unit General Practices in Grampian

(as the patient),

I attended my GP Practice in Aberdeen regarding high blood pressure I am a healthy 24 year old and it was concerning how high it was. 

All the staff were so friendly and looked into the problem seriously. 

I have since been referred to Cardiology to see a consultant. Mr McLay was the consultant I saw. He was really friendly and professional. Talking me through each stage of the appointment and explaining fully. Mr McLay is a huge credit to the NHS.

I have also had a 24hour blood pressure monitor fitted by the specialist nurse at Pharmacology in Aberdeen Royal Infirmary. Extremely knowledgeable regarding the whole situation and friendly.

I have been treated with the utmost respect and can’t be thankful enough. I hope this reaches all the wards/individuals it concerns as they deserve the credit. 

Kindest regards
