I had been unable to access my GP and was experiencing severe abdominal pain. I know A&E is only for emergencies, but felt I had nowhere else to go. When I got to the department it was busy but calm - I was seen by the triage nurse in a few minutes and then taken through to a cubicle.
The nurses and doctor were great - within a couple of hours I had had several tests and was discharged with some medicine and advice on what to do.
The overall experience was great - thank you!
