Yup, that's correct for Brits. The "and" provides the pause all by itself. We're smart enough not to need the extra hint

Today I am irritated at medical establishments who leave you hanging around for hours between diffeent parts of appointments. 5 fucking hours for a mammogram for a cancer patient who is on the worst day of her chemo cycle and just needs to sleep.

I was taught that was optional, but cautioned to be consistent throughout any document (read homework).
