Oct 14 2023 Having contacted 111 as tested positive for Covid and was having trouble breathing and classed as a vulnerable patient, they organised an appointment at 8.15pm at the UTC, Newton Abbot, where I was given a full and thorough assessment by a wonderful doctor. I had asked for antiviral medication to try to offset long covid as current condition is already difficult to cope with. Doctor advised he could not prescribe at Newton Abbot and was told to go to Torbay A & E. Arrived at Torbay to a packed waiting room. Was told I had to be assessed and triaged again, even though I had already undergone a full examination/triage at Newton Abbot. Was not happy that I was told to sit and wait in the waiting room due to being contagious (no one was wearing masks) so sat in the outer door area with the entrance door opening and closing every few minutes. I waited from 9.15pm on Tuesday to 4.45am on Wednesday the next day (7 hrs 45,mins) to be told I was not eligible for the antiviral medication, this question could have been put to a doctor on my arrival and settled almost immediately, the effects on my health were extreme as I already suffer with a long term chronic condition with fatigue being a major factor. Both my wife and I were exhausted by the end of this ordeal. Why must a patient be assessed/triaged twice, paperwork was handed over at our arrival, which if it had been looked at could have saved all those wasted hours and not in fact have caused me to become sicker than I already was. Disappointed in the whole process that needs to be looked into. UTC Newton Abbot should have been able to make a decision and/or prescribed the antiviral medication. With the increase in COVID cases now rising, implementation of masks should be reinstated.

Sep 24 2023 Having managed to impale myself on a poisonous thorn 1cm under my thumbnail nail bed I rang Kingsbridge MIU but was turned away as they ‘didn’t have an x ray unit on site’. I rang 111 who tried, unsuccessfully, to refer me again to the same Minor Injury Unit. The only solution was to refer me to Newton Abbot Urgent Car Centre, a 3 hour round trip. Luckily I had someone who could drive me. The care I received at Newton Abbot was exceptional. I was treated courteously and the issue was dealt with efficiently and professionally. No mention of an x ray, anaesthetic, a scalpel and forceps all that was required. Very strange to experience the best and the worst of the NHS on the same day!
