"It was an absolute pleasure to speak to such a nice person"

About: Glasgow Royal Infirmary / Plastic Surgery & Burns (wards 45, 47, 48 & 49)

(as a relative),

My wife received a letter from Glasgow Royal Infirmary (plastic surgery unit) confirming that she had been added to the Oral Surgery Waiting List in February.

As we haven't heard anything, I phoned for an estimate of when she might be seen.

I spoke to Michelle, the waiting list manager, who was so helpful and friendly and took time to explain the reasons for the delay (due to a backlog from Covid - which is quite understandable) and that she was working flat out to get people seen as soon as she possibly could.

It was an absolute pleasure to speak to such a nice person who clearly has patients at the forefront of her mind.

The NHS are fortunate to have such a helpful and dedicated member of staff

( lucky for the NHS I am now retired, if I still had my business, I would have offered Michelle a job).

Dear Fairplay,

Thank you for taking the time to feedback to us abut your conversation with Michelle our waiting list manager. I appreciate how challenging it can be to wait for a date for your wife's treatment. Michelle and her colleagues are working hard to ensure we get people to be seen and treated as soon as we possibly can.

I will share your feedback with Michelle who I know will be grateful for your kind words.

Many thanks for taking time to feedback to us in this way. It is very much appreciated.

Kind Regards

Elaine Burt
