"The service was excellent"

About: Downe Hospital / Day Procedure Unit The Ulster Hospital / Endoscopy Pre Assessment

(as a relative),

My wife recently attended for a Colonoscopy.

From Reception to discharge, the service was excellent. All staff were personable, caring, well informed and competent.

Susan, Endoscopy Pre-assessment, was especially helpful and gave the necessary reassurance.

During the procedure, necessary sedation was provided, and the staff were kind and patient.

Full explanations were given at each stage, and the tea and toast in Recovery were very much appreciated.

Findings were explained and given on a printed page.

Access to the hospital, car parking and signposting were great.

Both my wife and I are disabled and in our eighties, so access to all areas was important; access was most acceptable!

The entire experience was comfortable and commendable!

Dear Wilk

Thank you very much for taking the time to complete feedback on Care Opinion. Your feedback is very positive and your experience details how you and your wife were treated with kindness and how effective your access to Downe DPU was.

As the manager of Downe DPU I am very proud of the entire team. It was great to hear your positive experience when you arrived at reception, your wife's admission and procedure. Then finally the information received along the way including the findings during the discharge. I know the tea and toast is the best when patients have been fasting.

I hope your wife is recovering well and thanks again for taking the time to post your.

I will forward this on to our Endoscopy Lead nurse so Susan from pre-assessment can see it. I will also forward to everyone involved in your care.

Many thanks again and take care.

Regards Paul
