About: Northern General Hospital / Cardiology Royal Hallamshire Hospital / Cardiology Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust / Emergency ambulance

(as the patient),

Visited my GP at 5pm on a Wednesday.

He fortunately is a cardiologist and I was sent to Royal Hallamshire Hospital the next morning at 8: 30am for an ECG.

This confirmed my GP’s diagnosis of ‘heartblock’. I was quickly transferred, by ambulance, to the Northern General Hospital, Sheffield, by 11am that day. I was monitored in the Chasterman wing (cardiothoracic).

The next day, Friday, I was fitted with a pacemaker and returned home the next day.

At my GP and both hospitals, everyone was very kind, efficient and very professional.

Thank you.

Dear Flier 317

Thank you for taking the time to let us have your comments on your recent care under the Cardiothoracic Service at Northern General Hospital.

It is good to hear that the service was able to respond so quickly and effectively to your needs and I will ensure the staff involved are aware of your comments.

I hope you continue to make a full recovery.
