"The Staff were marvellous and very reassuring"

About: New Stobhill Hospital / Day Surgery

(as a service user),

Had to attend Stobhill Hospital in Glasgow for a surgical procedure in the Day Surgery Unit. Having never had surgery I was apprehensive scared even of the what was going to happen. The Staff were marvellous and very reassuring with me at all times. Taken through for the procedure by a Theatre nurse who again realised I was ‘terrified’ put me at ease with her general chatter. The Surgeon Mr James put me at ease and explained in simple terms what he was going to do. During the procedure he spoke quietly and told me what was happening.

Left within two hours of arriving none the worse.
