"Brilliant care"

About: St Mary's Hospital / Gynaecology

(as a service user),

I wanted to come on here as the entire team deserve a whole load of praise for their brilliant care. I felt really well looked after at Ward 62, was continuously checked on before surgery, and after. The nurses were gentle and non-judgemental, which was all I could ask for. 

I was worried about having my catheter and cannula taken out while I was awake, but the care team did this with such precision that I was in no pain. To give you some context, I previously fainted when I tried to give blood, so am quite a squeamish person. They were brilliant at distracting me and keeping my spirits high. 

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the team here to any woman who needs gynae treatment. I also really want to thank the surgery team who performed my myomectomy, I have been able to (slowly) walk away the following day in minimal pain, which is quite remarkable. Compared to the pains of the fibroid I had, the shoulder gas pains are really nothing. If any women are reading this and want to prepare, I would buy an electric heat pad for the shoulder pains as this has helped mine go away.

Thank you for your positive comments posted on the Care Opinion website regarding the care you received on Ward 62 at Saint Mary’s.

It was very kind of you to take the time to write and compliment the staff as it is always good to receive positive feedback which reflects the hard work and dedication of our staff. It was reassuring to read that you felt really well looked after and that the nurses were gentle and non-judgemental. It is good to hear that you experienced minimal pain and that you would recommend our gynaecology services to others.

I can assure you that we have passed on your thoughts to the Head of Nursing for Gynaecology who will share your comments with the staff involved.

Yours sincerely,

Patient Experience Team
