"Such an amazing team"

About: Victoria Hospital / Trauma & orthopaedics

(as the patient),

I hand surgery at the Victoria Hospital, the surgery was a carpal tunnel and forearm flush due to an infected cut in my hand.

The surgeons were great and did everything they could to make me feel at ease before and after my surgery.

The nurses in ward 33 were phenomenal! Sammy, Awa, Beth and the rest of the team in the ward went out they're way every single day to make sure all there patients were comfortable and had everything they needed. I cant thank them enough for the care and support they gave me during my one week stay in the ward.

The nurses have an incredibly tough job with some patients, yet you never hear a complaint from any of them! I would have lost my lid at a few patients but the nurses just took it in there stride. the Victoria Hospital is incredibly blessed to have such an amazing team of nurses in ward 33, I almost didn't want to leave and once my scars have healed, I need another surgery so I hope I'm back in ward 33!!

The cleaners were also amazing and looked after us without a single complaint.

Dear One Eyed Scotsman,

My name is Emma Crielly and I am one of the charge nurses working on ward 33.Thank you so much for sharing your heartfelt feedback — it’s truly uplifting to read.

We're thrilled to hear that your experience at Victoria Hospital was so positive, especially during what must have been a challenging time. It's wonderful to know the surgical team helped put you at ease and that the nurses in Ward 33 — Sammy, Awa, Beth, and the entire team — went above and beyond to make your stay as comfortable and supportive as possible. Their dedication and compassion clearly made a lasting impression.

Your kind words about the cleaners are equally appreciated — every member of the hospital team plays a vital role in patient care, and it's lovely to see their efforts recognized.

Wishing you a smooth recovery, and when the time comes for your next procedure, we hope Ward 33 welcomes you back with the same warmth and care.

Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience!

Emma Crielly, Charge Nurse, Ward 33
