"Excellent NHS resource"

My husband was having troublesome cardiac symptoms and the Gp had not responded after 8 hours. We knew the ambulance service was struggling so attended the MIU at Shepton Mallet. From the start he received excellent care. He was seen promptly by friendly, efficient staff. ECG and blood tests done whilst I waited outside. He was referred to the emergency ambulatory care centre at our local hospital and discharged with covering letter . At a time of unprecedented pressure on the NHS this service is a little gem. Thank you.
