"Excellent after care treatment"

About: Antrim Area Hospital / Emergency Surgical Unit (EMSU)

(as a service user),

After suffering a post op infection, and eventually navigating through through an extremely busy A&E department  I was admitted to the EMSU ward.

Following a late night CT scan, the situation was fully explained to me during morning ward rounds and I spent another 3 days in the ward receiving IV  antibiotics before being discharged.

Despite no longer being a ward patient, Kate and the team of nurses were willing and able to continue changing my dressings for the next 7 weekends when the local GP was closed, always taking time out from their normal busy routines to fit me in. This work was greatly appreciated as I am sure it contributed to my wounds healing without any further infections and definitely helped me feel more reassured about the improvement in my condition.
