I arrived at 11.45 and was assisted to find a parking space by a very helpful parking attendant. I was directed to the ticket machine and advised if I was going to the X-Ray department that I would only need to purchase 1 hour of parking.
Upon entering the building I immediately knew where to go due to effective wall and floor signage. I presented my documents at reception and was pointed in the direction of the waiting area.
After 10 minutes I was invited into the X-Ray area by a very personable radiographer. They guided me through the procedure and took time to check I was clear about what the procedure would do to assist my GP or specialist to deliver the appropriate response to my condition.
I left the X-Ray Department at approximately 12.30 thinking "what an excellent service"!
As a former chair of a Community Health Council until its demise in 2003 I would have given the service an unreserved "thumbs up".
I put "Don't Know" in your drop down list of Dept's as X-Ray or Imaging services is not listed!
"Excellent X-Ray walk in service"
