I HAD to visit Warrington’s A&E department after a fall in the town centre, caused by bone deterioration in my legs.

I was amazed at the treatment I received.

After checking in at reception it took less than 50 minutes to be seen by a doctor, have an x-ray and get the results.

The staff were very concerned, caring, organised and thorough.

The A&E doctor, Tom Byrne, was very meticulous.

My GP had already been arranging an MRI scan and Dr Byrne followed that up by arranging an urgent one.

However another surprise was a call from the hospital just a few days later advising me to go back and I was admitted onto a ward and the following day was operated on.

This was just one week after my visit to A&E.

I cannot thank the staff enough from A&E, X-ray department, A wards, surgeons, ICU.

They have been my angels. I know there has been bad press in the past but to me it seems like a completely different hospital now and it is about time the wonderful, hardworking staff got some appreciation.
