Our amazing A&E

Quick blog today. My father has had a traumatic head injury after a fall in the garden. He is home but being monitored carefully.

I just want to say that the A&E department we went to was hugely busy, and yet through all the upheaval every single one of the staff were amazing. I want to say thank you.

They treated each of us with respect and dignity. Every patient was assessed professionally, and as if they were the only one. After five hours there we were all exhausted and yet as we left there will still (tired) smiles from the staff. We are so lucky to have the NHS. Long may we support it, and long may people understand a cold is not a reason to visit A&E!!
