"Experience of A & E treatment"

About: East Surrey Hospital

I was referred to A & E by Oxted Health Centre late on Friday 2nd May with Atrial Fibrillations. Assessment was prompt, friendly and professional and I spent the night in Acute Medical Unit with constant attention and monitoring. Next day (Saturday) I was seen by the Duty Cardiologist who prescribed a course of treatment, arranged the medications and discharged me later that day with a comprehensive and helpful Discharge Summary. Throughout my time at East Surrey I was impressed by the professional attention which I received and by the cheerful care provided by all the nursing staff, day and night. Thank you!
