From the minute I arrived until I left,I was treated with kindness and consideration by everyone I encountered.I was feeling apprehensive about the surgery to come,but was reassured by the surgeon and by all the nurses who completed my pre-op assessments,and I now feel a lot less scared about the operation.Thanks to everyone.

Dear Edinburgh teacher,
Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on your pre-assessment.
I am delighted to hear that you were treated with kindness and consideration by everyone you met.
Although initially apprehensive I am pleased to hear that following your pre-assessment you feel a lot less scared about your surgical journey. It is important to us that patients feel well informed and supported in the pre-op period.
On behalf of the pre-op team I wish you well with your upcoming surgery and recovery.
