I took an asthma attack and had to wait 6 hours to be seen by a doctor and was left on a trolley during this time. The nurses were great during this time- Senior Nurse on was particularly great and made everyone feel comfortable.
The staff are clearly stretched beyond their limit due to Vale of Leven being closed and this needs to be reviewed. I was pleased with my treatment at all times.
I also ended up again back in A&E more recently due to breathing problems. Another 6 hour wait. Again staff were great but clearly stretched.
Well done to all the nurses, doctors, porters and other staff in the a& e department and I hope that something will be done to ensure you are able to manage time better.
