"A lovely ward and staff"

About: North Devon District Hospital / General surgery

(as the patient),

I was recently admitted to the Jubilee Ward at NDDH. I cannot speak more highly of the care i received from all the staff from the Sister Julie down to Jane and Rose from Sodexo. They just couldn't do enough, very considerate of the pain you were in and trying to best help with that. I did have a weird effect to the local anaesthetic that was administered to my knee and for a couple of days, couldn't feel my leg from the thigh down to my toes. The ward staff and the physio's were all understanding and helped me to feel relaxed and to deal with this. Thankfully on the 3rd day, sensation had returned to this leg. The food was really good. Compliments to the kitchen staff. I will hope that i will return to this ward for my other knee replacement. A lovely ward and staff.

Dear Laroceromssap

My apologies for the late response to your feedback.

It is always lovely to receive such positive response from a patient.

It is good to hear that staff was considerate and understanding. All of our staff members strive to make patients stay as comfortable as possible.

I will pass on your lovely feedback to all the staff involved in your care.

I am sorry to hear you struggled with the sensation to your leg. I am glad to hear that the sensation has returned after 3 days. We look forward to seeing you for your other knee.
