About: Sunderland Royal Hospital

I attended on the 26th of May for an angiogram following a referral by my GP for suspected heart trouble. I was nervous and more than a little apprehensive. Fortunately the staff at the unit are great. They made me feel welcome and put me at my ease straight away. Nothing was too much trouble and they answered all my (occasionally dumbass) questions to reassure me. Everyone was professional yet approachable and the procedure went ahead without a hitch. The only complaint I have is the absolutely dire choice of background music. Trust me, The Smiths have no place in a hospital. The second choice of Fleetwood Mac was a far better option, even if my singing along distracted the staff a little. Thank you for a good hospital experience, I will quite happily recommend the hospital to family and friends.
