Cannot fault the treatment

Posted By foxtrotht87

"Cannot fault the treatment"

About: Occupational Therapy / Occupational Therapy - Outpatient Hand Service Perth Royal Infirmary / Plastic Surgery & Burns

(as a service user),

Operation carried out in February at Ninewells Hospital, Dundee, on left hand for dupuytrens contracture affecting 3 fingers. Aftercare was excellent from wound nurses in Dundee and Perth, followed by OT in Perth where I was treated by Asma. 

Asma took time to explain everything very clearly and provided me with relevant exercises and advice to ensure a positive outcome after the surgery.  

I have now been discharged but can contact Asma should I have any questions or concerns over the forthcoming few weeks.  

NHS often receives criticism but I cannot fault the treatment I received from Ms Munro, who carried out the surgery, and the rest of the surgical team pre and post op.

Thankyou to everyone involved.
