Contacted NHS 111 who after 45 mins answered the call and was directed towards OFH service in Hamilton, contact was made by OFH within 10mins of referral, and an appointment was arranged with the next hour.
On arrival, I was greeted by a friendly receptionist, who asked me to take a seat, within 8 mins a nurse called my name, and my OB's were taken. I returned to the waiting room and after another 5 min wait, I was invited into for a review of my situation.
The Nurse Practitioner was very thorough , examine my leg , took measurements and agreed that the leg would need further reviewing within the hospital, the NP contacted the hospital to make an appointment for me, and asked that I attend the hospital at 0100hrs.
Overall a great service, much better that within the hospital, were I was waiting till 0700hrs before being seen by a doctor to confirm that I did indeed have blood clots.
"Overall a great service"
