"Chest pains: excellent care, highly recommended"

About: Southampton General Hospital

After an episode of chest pain while out walking I attended A&E, who started giving me tests almost as soon as I walked through the door. After some hours of tests and discussions among the doctors I was admitted to the CCU for further investigations, which was something I had not been expecting. In the CCU was given an extensive series of tests and scans, I could see that they were conducting a very thorough investigation. My care was exemplary, all the staff, nurses and doctors were helpful, caring and professional, explaining to me what was happening at every stage which was most reassuring. Eventually I was discharged when they were satisfied I was safe to go. I was prescribed some new medicines and they booked me for a further scan in a few months time as part of the follow-up plan. I would recommend anyone with chest pains who thinks they might have problems not to hesitate but to go and see this excellent team straight away. They are highly professional and you will definitely be in safe hands. I had full confidence in the expertise of the doctors I saw and the experience and training of the nurses. So if you are reading this and you have chest pains, don't hesitate, my advice is to get down there to A&E straight away, and they will sort you out.
