"Consistantly good"

About: Princess of Wales Hospital

I have been to this surgery a few times over the past ten or so years and every time it has been clean, friendly, quick and I have always received good advice (fortunately I've never had anything too serious though). Please bear in mind this is a minor injuries service though and not A&E. I believe it is run by nurses rather than doctors, so for obvious reasons they should not be treating things which could turn out to be more serious such as serious head injuries or potentially serious injuries to young children who cant explain fully how they feel - this is where the common sense comes in!
