Amazing people but they need more support

Posted By Micph74

"Amazing people but they need more support"

About: Maternity care (wards 68, 72 &73) / Labour suite Maternity care (wards 68, 72 &73) / Maternity care (Ward 72)

(as the patient),

I want to give recognition to the midwives and doctors that dealt with my care from the day my  induction was started with the balloon, through to having a c section, to birth of my daughter. The midwives and doctors were absolutely amazing and supportive throughout my labour, I can’t thank them enough.

The thing that I think really needs to be looked at is the amount of staff available. I noticed on the night my daughter was born that there was limited staff and I could tell this caused a strain on the midwives on shift, however the care provided was not hindered as you can tell these amazing people love their jobs. 

For the work these amazing people do more support should be given. The staff is limited, but yet the care I received was next to none and this just shows how much these people love their jobs, and I think it is only fair to provide them with the support that is required. More support should  be given and I can can't say this enough.

Dear Micph74,

Thank you for taking the time to share your thought on Care Opinion. Firstly, congratulations on the birth of your baby girl. I hope you are all doing well. It is really very kind of you to recognise how hard working the staff are and despite obvious pressures continued to give you kind and compassionate care.

I will share your feedback with the team and thank you again.

Best Wishes

Hi Tracy,

it is no problem at all. My experience was amazing and I cannot thank you all enough for helping me birth my baby safely into this world. I will never forget the kindness I have received from each and every one of you.

Thank you
