"Excellent care at A&E, Tameside General Hospital"

I went to A&E at Tameside Hospital just after Christmas. I had a very fast pulse rate which was very worrying.

I was taken into a new, modern, bright area of the department and within minutes the staff had me hooked up to a monitoring machine, and were taking blood samples and an x ray. An excellent charge nurse kept me well informed of what was going on and what the results of the various tests meant as they came back. The doctor who saw me was calm, informative, patient and helpful.

Fortunately nothing serious was detected, but I am sure I was in very good hands had there been a major problem. The care and treatment at Tameside A&E Department was excellent.
