"Recent hospital stay for knee replacement"

About: Trauma & orthopaedics / Orthopaedic National Treatment Centre

(as a service user),

On admission to unit everything was explained to me, prior to operation, all paperwork completed. I was made at ease  throughout my appointment.

My operation went very well ,all theatre staff were very friendly and welcoming. The anaesthetist discussed procedure fully with me prior to operation,  the surgeon also welcomed me and put me at ease in the theatre. 

All theatre staff were very welcoming and reassuring prior to and following my operation. Following my operation the ward staff were very good and welcomed me back into the ward. I needed extra analgesic which was given to me at regular intervals.

The surgeon visited me on the ward also the anaesthetist  to check I was ok. I was given adequate information and  medication on my discharge from the ward.  

Overall I stayed 1 night in the NTC unit and my experience was very positive throughout.

Good morning zulusc77,

Thank you very much for taking the time to share your recent feedback following your recent stay in the NTC.

I am very pleased that all aspects of your orthopaedic journey were positive experiences and while you were in the ward you felt reassured. Communication is pivotal and it is evident that this was provided from all members of the wider multi disciplinary team. I will share this this post with the staff and I am sure they will be delighted to read this.

Best wishes with your continued recovery

Lorna and the NTC Team
