I have an autoimmune disease that really took it out of me and felt the need to go to A&E. Every single person I met that worked there was absolutely out of this world. I felt so safe with them all and didn’t actually want to come home. All the Doctors I saw (particularly the A&E one) were the best ever and the vibe on SDEC made me feel so much better considering I felt in a really dark place. I think the chap on SDEC was called John, and he was an absolute legend.

Dear Summercometmoo22

Thank you for your kind feedback for SDEC. I hope you are feeling better now. I am glad the environment made you feel better and will feed back to the nurse in SDEC how much you enjoyed the positive vibe you felt whilst in our care
