About: Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust - Queen's Medical Centre Campus

(as the patient),

What I liked

I was taken to A&E in an ambulance as I could not breathe. I was seen promptly and my condition monitored regularly. I feel that staff did their best to investigate that I was stable before I was discharged.

What could be improved

I am disappointed that now just over 2 weeks later no notes have been received by my GP in Brighton about my emergency care. This attack happened very suddenly and I am quite anxious to explore just what triggered it and I am sure that having my patient notes from this encounter would help!
