"Thankyou!"

About: Western Isles Hospital / Maternity care

(as a service user),

I just wanted to recognise the fantastic service we had during our visit to Stornoway (all the way from Yorkshire!). At 11 weeks pregnant I experienced some bleeding. A quick phone call later and I was invited in for a scan a few hours later.

So grateful to have been seen so quickly and been able to get the reassurance I needed to continue enjoying our holiday. Thankyou!
