"Great Service "

About: Pontefract General Infirmary

I visited the department, after not being able to get a GP appointment for over a week. I was experiencing a Asthma attack and not able to control it.

Check in reception OK, triaged after about 15 minutes. The waiting area was full.

Saw after 2:30hrs, which I know is far less than a Hospital A&E unit.

Staff brilliant, despite me feeling I had developed a chest infection, I was thoroughly examined, chest infection confirmed, medication prescribed.

Feel a bit guilty about using this facility as I feel more could be done by my GP's but it's reassuring to know it's there.

Thanks.
