South Staffordshire health care

I'm about to move from North Wales to South Staffordshire. I have a clinic appointment for next week, and am anticipating being given a date for an ablation - it would have been for Broadgreen hospital in Liverpool. However, when in Staffordshire I think my new hospital for cardio appointments will be Burton Upon Trent. Does anyone have any experience of this hospital? And does anyone know which hospital I'll be referred to, for the ablation?

Many thanks, Wendy.

As LHCH at Broadgreen is a centre of excellence you should think very carefully about going elsewhere. I know that it's a hike from Staffordshire but Broadgreen Station is just down the road from the hospital. You may need to change trains at Warrington Bank Quay which is an easy station with a good waiting room and excellent toilets.

Hi Wendy just spotted that you live quite close and was wondering how you were doing with local services Ibeorked locally in the NHS and had to battle all the way

But I do have a good consultant at Burton althoughbthe supporting infrastructure is poor sometimes
