"I was made to feel relaxed and well looked after"

About: Craigavon Area Hospital / Day Surgery Unit

(as a service user),

I recently underwent surgery and from the moment I arrived in the day surgery unit I was made to feel relaxed and well looked after.  A number of staff did numerous checks and explained the whole process to me clearly.  The doctor and anaesthetist also came to speak to me before the surgery and answered any questions I had.  Going into surgery was a little daunting but the fact all in the room had already came and introduced themselves to me meant I wasn't faced with a room of strangers.  After surgery the nursing staff were fantastic, very attentive and calming as I came round from the anaesthetic.  Thank you so much to all the staff who looked after me.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience whilst in the unit.

It is lovely to read positive comments about the unit and staff.

All of the staff in the unit pride themselves on making our patients feel at ease at a difficult and stressful time.

We all strive to ensure the patients are given all the information they require about their journey through the unit and the procedure they are having carried out.

I hope you are recovering well from your procedure.

I will share this with the rest of the staff in the unit.

Many thanks again
