"The service which I received was top notch"

About: Lagan Valley Hospital / Urgent Care Centre

(as a service user),

I have a painful Right Ankle. I phoned recently one early morning and spoke to a very friendly Consultant who arranged an appointment around 30 minutes later.

When I arrived in the Centre I was greeted by a very friendly receptionist. Following on from that I was seen by the triage nurse Pamela. She was  very pleasant and professional. Within a short period of time I was examined by a very pleasant  doctor.

An X-ray was arranged and happened within 10 minutes waiting time. Again all the staff were very friendly and professional. I was seen by the doctor given x-ray results, advice on ankle injuries, a supply of appropriate medications and a physio  referral. The service which I received was top notch. Many thanks to all the staff. 

The unit is quiet, spotlessly clean and even though busy it has an Air of Calm to it. Why can’t all our main hospitals run as effectively and efficiently as this Unit.

Hi vegawq69

Thank you for telling us of your experience when attending LVH Urgent Care Centre. It is good to hear that you received very efficient and professional service during your attendance. I appreciate the comments around the unit being quiet, clean and run efficiently. Being an appointment phone first service that is closed at night and weekends allows for a controlled efficient environment and being properly cleaned that other units do not allow for.

I will share your kind comments with the staff who will appreciate them.

Kind Regards

Jenny

Lead Nurse
