I have a gastric band fitted and became Ill with sickness bug, I am unable to be sick with the band and there was a possibility the band would slip. My husband called 111 and they gave me a 12 hr disposition which would not have been any good to me as pathways does not recognise gaestric band, my husband spoke to a clinician at 111 and explained the situation and they marked it as a 2hr contact. Within 10 mins IC24 brighton called and within 1hr 30 min the mobile GP visited and found I had a temperature of 38 a d gave me an anti sickness injection and was also concerned of and slippage - within 1hr I had stopped wretching and was able to sleep. The GP was polite courteous and very attentive. Thank you
