"Rehabilitation care package"

About: Golden Jubilee National Hospital / Interventional Cardiology University Hospital Hairmyres / Cardiac Catherterisation University Hospital Hairmyres / Cardiology

(as a service user),

I was referred to the cardiology team at HH due to breathing issues when walking and exercising, I attended various assessment clinics until I was referred to   Dr Carrick, who carried out a heart catheterisation procedure and I was told that due to the severe flattening of my arteries, a stent procedure could not be done. Dr Carrick and the team met and agreed that I should be referred to the Golden Jubilee National Hospital for a double by pass (CABG). I have to say that everyone at HH did everything that they could do to make sure that I was cared for and I was provided with the very highest standards of medical treatment, care and advice. I was handed over to the care of the incredible health professionals at The Golden Jubilee National Hospital. My CABG was carried out by Professor Al Attar 

I cannot speak highly enough about the preparation, care, advice and empathy and complete  professionalism delivered by everyone at The Golden Jubilee National Hospital.

Its now eighteen weeks post operation and my recovery is excellent and that is down to the incredible and very thorough after care provided by The Golden Jubilee and the Cardiology health care professionals at Hairmyres Hospital.

I have just completed four weekly sessions of Cardiology Physio Rehabilitation at HH and I can say that I am thankful to everyone involved in my rehabilitation care package.

I would recommend attending the physio rehabilitation sessions.
