Good care

"Good care"

About: General Surgery / Elective Surgery (Ward 7 & 8)

(as a service user),

I had elective surgery in Perth Royal Infirmary. I had to stay in a little longer than anticipated. The aftercare on Ward 7 was so good. The senior charge nurse was engaged with her team and the patients. The nurses were calm, reassuring, knowledgeable and attentive. Health care assistants were really helpful and patient and even the domestic staff were chatty and cheerful. The experience was as good as I could have expected and a really great start to my recovery. I am very thankful to them all.
