My mums care in the hospital

Posted By Flowers 12

"My mums care in the hospital"

About: Antrim Area Hospital / Ward C1 Gynaecology Whiteabbey Hospital / Pre-Assessment Unit

(as a relative),

My mum was admitted to Antrim hospital in August and went through a big operation.

We can’t thank the doctors and nurses enough for their care and compassion 

I would like to thank Dr Quinn and his team who performed the operation for there expertise and knowledge. Patricia, and all the staff of ward c1.

The physios who took her for a wee walk 

The pharmacists, also all the staff of pacuu where she spent the night after her operation they were fantastic and so dedicated. Also dr Latif  who did the pre op at Whiteabbey Hospital. Also dr blessing from Kells and Connor surgery for his wonderful help.

And the hospital was immaculate.

I can’t thank you all enough

Hi Flowers 12,

My name is Marie Devlin and I am the manager of the pre -op assessment team. Thank you so much for taking the time to give such positive feedback on all the teams involved on your mums surgical journey.

I especially want to thank you for your kind comments on Dr Latiff who is a highly valued member of our team and understands that patients can be very apprehensive about their surgery and anaesthetic and tries to allay any fears or worries that they may have, and I am sure that you found the appointment with him helpful and informative.

I will pass on your kind comments to him, and we all wish your mum a very speedy recovery.

Marie
