Cancer Journey

(as the patient),

I was admitted to Raigmore hospital for planned surgery. The staff, from start to finish, were fantastic in all departments. Their professionalism and dedicated care in such a busy place was second to none and continues to be that way as I continue my journey in their care.

Friendly, supportive, and extremely caring in Ward 4B. I felt safe in their hands, with their explanations of the procedure and what would happen continuing with this afterwards in recovery. 

Every ward and department in Raigmore Hospital Inverness have been fantastic.

Dear Feejay

Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful words. It’s truly uplifting to hear that your experience—from admission through recovery—was met with the professionalism and care we strive to deliver every day.

I’m especially proud to hear that my team in Ward 4B made you feel safe, supported, and well-informed throughout your journey. We understand how important it is for patients to feel reassured and cared for, particularly during moments of vulnerability, and your feedback reflects the dedication our staff bring to their roles.

Your recognition of the wider hospital teams is also deeply appreciated. Raigmore is fortunate to have such committed professionals across all departments, and your message will be shared with them—it means a great deal.

Wishing you continued strength and healing as your journey progresses. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience.

Regards,

SCN Sarah Gate

Ward 4B Raigmore Hospital
