I had a total knee replacement as a day patient and I was very anxious before my op. I have to say that every member of the hospital team went out of their way to be understanding and helpful during what, for me, was a very stressful experience.
Everything was well organised and co-ordinated with all staff members working together efficiently and effectively.
I had plenty of time to discuss the procedure with surgeon Mr Welsh and Mr Falaha, anaesthetist, both of whom put me at ease and made the experience more bearable than I could ever have anticipated.
Aftercare in ward 4 was dealt with efficiently and kindly. Physios and occupation therapy staff were very helpful and encouraging. All in all, the whole experience was quite different from what i had been expecting.
I should also add that pre-op visits to the jubilee were carried out efficiently with minimum delay. all in all, a very positive experience.
