"Excellent care and support"

About: The Tunbridge Wells Hospital

I was admitted by ambulance very early in the morning with a fractured hip. The team in A&E were caring, supportive and explained exactly what they were doing at each stage. The team were professional, whilst maintaining a friendly and approachable manner and continually checked how I was feeling and what level of pain I was experiencing so they could give appropriate medication.

The professional attitude continued when I was admitted to Ward 30 the following day and after my hip surgery. Across the lovely, smiling nursing team, the cleaner of the room I was in, the doctors and the anaesthetists, the physios, everyone found the time to check how I felt, explain procedures and make my period in hospital as least traumatic as possible.

Thank you for helping me when I needed it.

Dear Susan,

I was pleased to read that you received such caring, professional and supportive care in the Emergency Department and that this continued in ward 30. Thank you for taking the time to provide us with feedback of your experience and I shall share your review with the teams today.

I hope you are recovering well.

With best wishes,
