"Excellent care"

About: Community/District Nursing / Perth & Kinross South District Nursing Ninewells Hospital / Acute Surgical Receiving Unit Ninewells Hospital / Vascular Conditions

(as the patient),

I was recently admitted to Ninewells ward 9. The care I received there was great. I had two remaining toes removed and all went well. The vascular team were very helpful, led by Olivia.

The vascular specialist nurses too were brilliant -  Ailsa, Emily, Anita and Anne Marie. I could not have wished for more.

The ward nurses were very caring and attentive. I can't remember all the names but here are a few -  Amy (Mabel), Kirsty, Liz, Donald, Misha. I can't thank you enough. Even Liz who pushed us to rise in the morning. I am ashamed that I can't remember all the names. You are all brilliant at your jobs. 

I am now getting care from the district nurses who are coming in to dress my wound. I heard from them when the nurse called into my home to arrange a visit and made things so easy for me. They have been brilliant. Thank you all.
