My daughter (who asked me to post this) was admitted through the Emergency Dept with severe pain.
Great assessment was carried out by the team with support from Dr McCarthy, and SCN Lesley at the helm. The staff were so good, and despite being really busy, ensured all patients received the care they needed, including bring fed and watered.
The ultrasound was organised quickly and efficiently, and reported back to us. Admitted to Ward 7 and after consideration, she had her operation the next day.
Anaesthetist Katie was fabulous with her- supporting all her needs, providing information in a way she understood, as did surgeon Miss Twelves, who consented her for the op. The surgeon was excellent with her and the surgery was straightforward.
The ward nurses supported her really well- answering questions and providing analgesia, as well as updating me.
Thank you to everyone- from the cups of tea, the friendly smiles, to the professional care- you do an amazing job in difficult circumstances.
"Excellent Care"
