"My whole experience was very positive"

About: University Hospital Wishaw / Day Surgery

(as the patient),

Day surgery endoscopy. I had to attend hospital for colonoscopy in day surgery department . I've had these before and had good and bad experiences.

This time from meeting admin staff who were very welcoming and warm, to every member of staff I met, they were pleasant and showed interest in me as a patient and not just someone on the list .

Throughout the procedure the consultant engaged with me and gave me time to ask questions. My aftercare was another positive experience and I never felt rushed to get ready.

My whole experience was very positive with staff who despite the pressures all staff are under are showing a true positive regard towards patients.

I felt taken care of and left with information written down ( as I had been sedated) about my procedure as well as good aftercare advice .

Dear buzylizy,

Thank you for sharing your experience on Care Opinion of University Hospital Wishaw, Day Surgery.

It can be a worrying time attending hospital for a procedure, even if you have had it done before. I am so pleased to hear that everyone you met, from the admin staff to the consultant were all very personable and interested in you as a patient. I am also glad that you have been given all the information required after as you had sedation. This must have been very reassuring for you.

I will pass on your thanks and feedback to the whole team who I am sure will be delighted to hear this.

I hope you are recovering well.

Kind Regards,

Jenni
