Efficient professional service

"Efficient professional service"

About: South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust / Emergency ambulance

(as the patient),

I contacted 111; the operator was efficient and a 1st responder quickly arrived at my home. He was able to assist me and assess me whilst listening to my medical history and remained calm whilst in control of the situation; requesting backup, as I lost consciousness and become unresponsive. The ambulance crew arrived quickly and the decision was made to do a lying and standing ecg which showed my heart rate rising rapidly on standing, leading me to feel breathless and very faint. I am very grateful to everyone. Thank you.

Dear perfumed poodle

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I hope you are feeling much better now.

It is always rewarding to hear that our staff are continuing to provide excellent care to our patients when they need us most.

I would like to pass your kind comments onto the 111 service and ambulance crew who came to your aid. Would you be able to contact me, laura.martin@swast.nhs.uk or call 01392 453831, at your convenience, with the date and address that the ambulance attended? This would allow me to identify the staff involved and ensure they are recognised for the care they gave.

Thank you again for providing feedback on our service.

Kind regards

Laura
