I was admitted to AMIA via gmeds for pain management
I have recently been diagnosed with cancer and my headaches had gotten out of control - I contacted nhs24 and after an hour on hold was put on to a lovely call handler named Emily who was extremely helpful. I was then reviewed at home by GP Scott from gmeds who I could not fault! He went above and beyond to ensure I was admitted for medication review.
On my arrival to AMIA I was very well looked after by Luke and Lesley from the nursing team - they made sure I felt at ease.
ANP Dawn and Dr Mahmood were very thorough when examining me and made sure my pain was being managed.
During the night I was transferred to ward 103 and I can not fault any of the staff there - I am now discharged home and feeing much better about things - my pain is now better although not completely gone - I can cope with it
I would like to thank all the staff who looked after me throughout my journey in ARI. A special thanks to Melissa, Joel, Hannah, Jordan, Nicola and Dr Weir.
