"A&E excellent service!!"

About: Blackpool Victoria Hospital

I presented late on Friday evening with leg pain, concerned this might be DVT as I have a family history of this. Was seen initially by Primary Care doctor who didn't believe this would be DVT but arranged for A&E to take blood for analysis to confirm. At A&E I was seen promptly and efficiently, reexamined by an A&E doctor, the sample taken and analysed and the result carefully explained. At every stage I was treated promptly and with dignity. The staff are fantastic and handle a large volume of patients, especially on a weekend night. I cannot praise them highly enough... total professionals.
