My weekend stay in the hospital

I came in to A&E at the RAH on a Friday night with stroke like symptoms after a long week of coping with a terrible migraine. I just want to say that the care I received all weeked was amazing. Yes I had a long wait but this was a Friday night and there was so many challenges for the staff. All the nurses and the Dr's who took care of me made me feel really safe.

After A&E I was taken to acute medical unit and then placed in the acute stroke ward. I was very muddled at the time so unfortunately I don't remember anyone's name. I also had a ct scan and mri while there. Each department made me feel very well cared for and safe. This safety came from all hospital staff Dr's, consultants, nurses porters, auxiliary. 

Thank you all of you for giving me 1st class care under so much pressure.

Dear waltzjy54

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your kind words following your recent experience at the Royal Alexandra Hospital. We are truly heartened to hear that, despite the understandable anxiety of coming to A&E with stroke-like symptoms, you felt safe and well cared for throughout your stay.

Your comments will mean a great deal to the staff across our Emergency Department, Acute Medical Unit, and the Stroke Ward, as well as the wider hospital team including porters and support staff. It’s always incredibly encouraging for our teams to know their dedication and professionalism made such a positive difference, especially during a busy and demanding weekend.

We will ensure your feedback is passed on to all the departments involved in your care. We hope you are continuing to recover well, and we thank you again for recognising the hard work and commitment of our staff.

Kind regards

Kevin
