Rang 999 did not feel confident with operator

April 6, 2016
Operator asking for information to be repeated. Could not assess situation. Could not determine when an ambulance would come

November 23, 2015
I called 111 after being discharged from a specialist maternity ward at the Conquest the day before as I was bleeding very heavy again and they sent an ambulance. Paramedics excellent, checked my obs, liaised with ward at conquest and was able to remain at home and not suffer the indignity and excruciating wait at A and E.

I had a very bad fall. The ambulance crew were exceptional. I cannot praise them too highly. I have had occasion to call them in the last two years and I have always found them to be kind, helpful and I am most thankful for their service

I had rigors in the night. My wife dialled 999 and an ambulance came quickly. Following assessment I was taken to the Princess Royal, Haywards Heath casualty. The ambulance men were so calm and reassuring. They were a credit to their NHS

Dear R W Hill

I was very pleased to read that you were happy with the service you received when your wife had to call an ambulance for you during the night, both in terms of the speed of response and the fact that the crew who attended you were calm and reassuring, which I am sure was just what was needed in the circumstances.

Thank you very much for taking the time to post your comments, which is very much appreciated. I am very sorry not to have replied sooner and hope that you went on to make a full recovery.

Yours sincerely
Louise Hutchinson, Patient Experience Lead
