Admitted to the ward (NTC) on October 7th 2024. From admission to discharge I was given the very best of care. Extraordinary staff who daily give all. I had a lengthy stay due to the nature of the operations, so bore witness to the workloads, dedication and professionalism of all the staff in the NTC.
The place is great, though in my opinion, staff were clearly not consulted at either the planning or construction stages. There are many areas of inaccessibility which need reviewed especially as they are contrary to the recommendations.
That aside, it's the people who made my stay easier to bear. There are so many I feel should be mentioned individually as without exception they played a part in my treatment and recovery.
Mr Dunstan. So skilled. Thank you so much for everything. The folk in charge... Briony and Tanya who have the respect and commitment of those working in their teams
The fabulous group of ANP's who looked after me so beautifully. The lovely Jen, Debbie and Bronagh were especially involved but sincere thanks goes also to Lynsey ,Lynsey, Judith and Lorraine.
The nursing care i received was second to none and i genuinely have no words to express the gratitude i feel for those who made those days and weeks bearable. To the wonderful, kind, dedicated, good humoured, knowledgable Aimie, Victoria, Lauren, Guilia, Lorraine, Kerry, Clare, Nicky, Karen, Andreea, Nancy, Olu, Nicola, Lynsey, Lindsay, Beth, Lesley, Rosie, Cassy, Kelly, Morgan, Lorraine, Natalie, Natalia and student nurse Riza.... you have my sincere gratitude. Huge thanks are sent to the SWCA's.... such fabulous folk. Hard working , caring, efficient, skilled Susan, Mandy, Theresa , Davy, Chaz, Pauline, Trina, Becky, Ellis, Carly, Daniella and Shalan.
I was lucky to have a room of my own and it was kept spotless by Susan, Leanna and Joel. Susan especially cheered me every morning with her winning, positive attitude.
My stay would have been so much more arduous without them so sincere appreciation, with accompanying hugs, goes to each and all of them
Gratitude goes to the Physio and OT teams who encouraged and cajoled some movement out of me. To the pain team too who returned after their helpful input. The amazing Theatre folk who calmed and supported, then came to visit following my 2 surgeries.
To the staff in Outpatients Oh my goodness... so many days back and forth and you were always so helpful , kind and thorough. Thank you so much to
Audrey, Kelly, Kerry, Patsy, Sharon and Kerry.
I will inevitably have forgotten someone and for that I apologise but honestly NTC... You all have my thanks and as much praise as I'm able to express.
