"Thank you to the hospital and heart care team"

About: University Hospital Wishaw / Cardiology (Ward 4)

(as a relative),

In July 2025 my wife had a heart attack and collapsed. The ambulance crew were quick on scene, gave first class medical attention and she was rushed to Hairmyres hospital.

Within 2 hours of the attack she had a stent fitted. After a few days with splendid hospital treatment she was transferred to Wishaw General hospital. Again she received first class treatment and was discharged one week later.

The heart team then took over her care at home and it was impressive the help and care they gave her to recover. The heart team went out of their way to assist her to achieve her goal to again be independent and it was impressive what they achieved.

I would like to thank all staff, ambulance crew, surgeons, nurses, occupational therapists, and the heart team for their dedication and achievement with the early recovery of my wife. Thank you.

Dear Davidng615,

Thank you for sharing your experience of University Hospital Wishaw, Cardiology.

I am so sorry to hear about your wife's heart attack. It must have been such a worrying time for you both. I am so pleased to hear how quickly our team acted on this and treated her. It must have been very reassuring for you knowing she was in such capable hands.

I will ensure your kind words are passed onto the whole team who I am sure will get a real boost in hearing your feedback.

I hope your wife is recovering well.

Best Wishes,

Jenni
