Care that was second to none.
I called 999 for my husband who was experiencing chest pain. The paramedics arrived very quickly and swiftly set about their business in a friendly and open manner. They took my husband to A&E at the Conquest hospital. He was diagnosed as having a heart attack. From that moment on he and I were treated very well, we were fully informed of all that was happening and what they would be doing. There were many encounters with staff from different departments and all of them treated us like human beings in a considerate and caring way. To cut a long story short, my husband was operated on, stents fitted (even though the surgeon, doctors and nurses had finished for the day, they stayed to work on my husband) on Tuesday and was home with all his medication, clearly written information and a follow up on Thursday evening. I cannot tell how very grateful we both are for the care and professionalism we received from start to finish. People may complain that they have to wait ages in clinics or for xrays or out patient appointments but when there is a life or death situation or a serious emergency The Conquest and it's team are the absolute best.
