I went to a and e in mid May feeling unwell with tingling sensation in my face and down my left arm. I was quickly seen, assessed and an appointment was made for me at the TIA clinic the next day. Amazing service.

Dear John

Thank you very much for taking the time to give us your very kind feedback.

Our TIA service has been operating since 2008 and sees all patients referred the following morning and arranges all tests and advice as a "one stop shop". I particularly like the way it has shaped the hospital's services around each patient rather than trying to make the patient fit the hospital. We need more services like these and hopefully you will be pleased to know that this is exactly what we have planned.

I am very pleased you had a good service and hope that you are well and happy.

Kindest regards

Dr Ben Mearns
