"Extremely supportive, knowledgeable and funny"

About: Scottish Ambulance Service / Emergency Ambulance

(as a relative),

At the end of May 2024 my father was unwell in the home and were advised by the GP to call an ambulance. To prepare my parents, I had told them it might take quite a bit of time before it arrives, however I was wrong as the ambulance arrived a short time after ending the call. 

When paramedics Graeme and Mark came it to the home, they quickly made us feel at ease whilst ensuring my father was at the centre of the discussions. They were extremely supportive, knowledgeable and funny whilst maintaining professionalism throughout the time in the house.

They told us everything they were doing and what we should expect especially when arriving at the hospital. They allowed me to travel with my father and continually kept up our morale. I can't thank them enough for the care and compassion shown to my family and for making a very difficult and distressing experience feel so much easier to deal with.

Dear Curly78,

Many thanks for taking the time to share your feedback here on CareOpinion. I am so sorry to read about what happened to your father, this must have been a scary time for you all. I do hope that he is feeling better. It is great to hear positive stories about the work our wonderful staff provide.

If you wish I can pass on the feedback to the crews directly. To do so we would need to know the date, time and address that the Ambulance attended and your fathers name. This information can be sent to sas.feedback@nhs.scot for the team to pick up. If you do decide to do this, would you be so kind as to make reference to your CareOpinion username so that the team can easily locate your story and share it with the crew.

I wish you all the very best and thanks again.

Kind Regards

Alan
