"Impressed by the Kingsfold Unit"

About: East Surrey Hospital / General medicine

(as a service user),

I was referred to to Kingsfold Unit by my GP at short notice. On my arrival I was seen immediately and over the next three hours was given a number of blood tests, scans, x-rays and other examinations, followed by a thorough debrief with the doctors.

I was greatly impressed with the helpfulness of the doctors, nurses and the ancillary staff and with the efficiency of the examinations. The NHS at its best!

Thank you so much for your feedback.

The Kingsfold Unit (Ambulatory Emergency Care) was created to offer a fast, comprehensive, consultant-led service and I am really pleased that you had a good experience.

Our aim is to provide investigations and treatment that you would normally expect through an admission to hospital but without the need to stay overnight.

I will let the Clinical Lead know your feedback and I hope that you are well.

Best wishes

Ben
