"Caring and compassionate staff"

About: Glasgow Royal Infirmary / Accident & Emergency

(as a relative),

My wee 96 year old Ma had a stroke. Ambulance arrived within 8 minutes. Rushed through GRI A&E. Receptionist on front desk took us straight through. All staff were caring, compassionate and thoroughly professional. We were kept updated all the way. We were given a room in a&e as end of life.  We were all so very grateful for that room to maintain her dignity. All staff again were just so amazing. Although the department was very very very very busy we were made to feel that nothing was a bother - we were seen and heard.  NHSGGC have so many amazing staff who are professionally trained for their job but it takes much more than that. You can't train empathy and we were shown it in abundance that evening. Unfortunately I can't remember everyone's names but recall Michael & Sarah and Doctor who looked after Ma when she came in and kept us updated after her CT scan, etc.  Also a big thanks to 

?Rebecca who tried desperately to get us a Priest. Thank you all very much you are all amazing.

Dear AK68

Thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback on Care Opinion.

Please accept my sincere condolences on the passing of your 'Ma' after receiving end of life care at the Glasgow Royal Infirmary, Accident & Emergency Department.

I was happy to hear the staff took the time to provide your 'Ma' with a room which was suitable to her and you as a family.

I was also very happy to hear the staff made her feel comfortable and provided a caring, compassionate service throughout her stay.

I will pass on your kind words to the team in particular Michael, Rebecca and Sarah. They will be delighted to hear your lovely comments.

Kind regards

Kevin
