I came to see a consultant. I was seen very promptly by a Healthcare Assistant who took my blood pressure. She was very polite and friendly. She then asked me to sit in the waiting room while she organised an ECG for me. In less than 5 minutes I was called in for an ECG, again technician was very professional and polite.
My only criticism for this test is that one has to strip to the waist and lay down and I felt to be offered a paper cover would have made the experience more dignified.
Once the test was completed I was returned to the waiting room to await the consultant. Again, less than 5 minutes wait and I was called by the consultant. I was able to ask questions after I had been examined and the whole experience was very reassuring. My total time in the clinic was just under half an hour. Everybody treated me with respect and kindness.
