My sister has very complex health issues on top of a high level spinal injury, so feels extremely vulnerable in hospital away from her care team.
From the moment we met Miss Collie for the initial consultation we felt at ease. She had taken the time to read the 3 page email I had sent detailing the 36 year history of my sisters survival and how her deteriorating bowel function was devastating her quality of life.
Miss Collie agreed immediately that she was suitable for a colostomy and the surgery was performed recently.
All the staff cared so carefully for her and made her feel extremely safe. The anaesthetist knew her from his previous role in her home ventilation team so put her at ease immediately.
As a family we can’t thank you enough for making this nerve wracking experience so easy.
"The excellent care my quadriplegic sister received"
