"The care and professionalism has been outstanding"

About: Community Nursing / District Nursing Glasgow Royal Infirmary / General Surgery (wards 64, 65, 66,& 67) The Lanarkshire Beatson

(as the patient),

I had undergone complex surgery (12 hours) at the Glasgow Royal Infirmary to remove a Sarcoma in my gluteus muscle. 

Due to the amazing team at the Glasgow Royal Infirmary headed up by Mr Gupta and Mr Fairbairn the operation was a success. Also Dr Vohra’s team at the Beatson provided amazing support throughout.

Post op, I required a high level of community care. The district nurses have been looking after my well-being and wound since my operation . They have been exceptional. I would give all their names a mention but would be afraid I left anyone out. This is still ongoing and is overseen by Una, who, with her team, have provided me with post operative care that is second to none and supported me through a very difficult journey.  

I just can’t praise them enough for being there when I most needed them, including out of hours.

Overall the care and professionalism has been outstanding.   I am so grateful to all of the NHS team from nurses to consultants who have saved my life and supported me through a very difficult journey.

My name is Julie Fitzpatrick and I am the Interim Chief Nurse for East Renfrewshire HSCP.

You have been through such a difficult time with the surgery you received at the Glasgow Royal Infirmary and I am so pleased to read about the support and care from the hospital and the Beatson.

I am delighted to hear about the community support you have received from the District Nursing team here at the Health and Social Care Partnership. Una and her team have provided care and support in your post-operative care that you have described as second to none.

Thank you for taking the time to give this positive feedback and I will make sure Una and the whole team can see this.

My best wishes for your continued recovery.

Julie
