"My husband's treatment was 100% unquestionably fabulous"

About: University Hospital Hairmyres / Vascular Surgery (Ward 8)

(as a relative),

My husband attended the Vascular clinic and was admitted straight from there to Ward 8.  From the minute he attended the clinic until his discharge home his treatment was 100% unquestionably fabulous. 

Mr Vesey, Consultant Vascular Surgeon, is an extremely gifted Surgeon who treated my husband with so much attention and respect.  He performed a femoral bypass and was available and informative at all times. 

His team - who I apologise I do not know all their names -  were all brilliant and a credit to him.  The nursing staff on the ward were amongst the best I have ever come across. They were attentive at all times, ensuring all was well and always extremely pleasant in what is one very, very busy ward at all times of the day and night. 

I cannot praise this Vascular team enough and thank them so much for their kindness and attention which was amazing. 

Also a thank you to the Anaesthetic staff, theatre recovery team and Mr Vesey's Secretary, Linda, and Admin staff Jennifer for their prompt attention and help.  

This whole team made a very worrying time so much easier to deal with which means a lot.

Dear SheNiv,

Thank you for sharing you and your husbands experience at University Hospital Hairmyres, Vascular Surgery.

I am delighted to hear that you have received such excellent care and support during your husband's time in Hairmyres. I am so pleased that the whole team, as well as Mr Vesey, looked after your husband and reassured you both during such a worrying time.

I will ensure your kind words are passed on to everyone involved in your husbands care, and I am sure they will all get a real boost in hearing your feedback.

I hope your husband is recovering well.
