A&E admission

"A&E admission"

About: Colchester General Hospital

Just wanted to say thank you to the staff who looked after my 15 year old daughter last night when we came into A&E via an ambulance just before midnight with some sort of undiagnosed fit. From the kind nurse who kept us informed of what was happening and how long before we'd be seen by the doctor, who took everything we said so seriously and gave her such a thorough assessment, to the paediatrician who again took the time to examine her at length. We came home feeling that we had been in safe and caring hands and hopefully a little closer to finding out what is wrong. Everyone looked so tired but worked professionally and cheerfully, as well as treating their patients with dignity.
