"My mum received excellent care from all the staff"

About: Radiology / CT Scanning University Hospital Wishaw / Emergency Department

(as a relative),

My mum was admitted Sunday night after a fall and head injury. Anne Marie was in charge.

My mum received excellent care from all the staff including Anne Marie, Stacey, Lorraine and Dr Amy. She was investigated quickly, treated  and transferred to a ward. Despite an extremely busy department my mum received kindness compassion and dignity by all the staff she came in contact with.

She also attended radiology for a CT SCAN and the staff on duty were kind and efficient.

Dear Juking

Thank you for taking the time to write in about your recent experience attending with your mum for a CT scan.

I'm sorry to hear she had a fall. It must have been a worrying time for you and your mum. I'm glad you felt you were treated with kindeness, compassion and dignity which is core to our NHS Lanarkshire values of patient centered care.

I will make sure your kind words are passed on to the radiographers who looked after your mum in radiology and took her CT scan.

I hope your mum is on the mend.

With warm wishes,

Sara
