"Providing a high level of care in challenging circumstances"

About: Glasgow Royal Infirmary / Acute Assessment Unit (AAU)

(as the patient),

I attended AAU recently via GP referral.  The unit was under immense pressure with a high volume of patients waiting and long waiting times.  Despite the obvious pressures every staff member was kind, professional and welcoming and within 7 hours I had been triaged, seen a doctor and had a CT scan.  The patients in the waiting area were kept informed & all the staff were working flat out to ensure that the patients were cared for.  I was so impressed with their dedication and professionalism & think they deserve praise for continuing to provide such a high level of care in such challenging circumstances.  Huge thank you in particular to ANP Stacy for being so attentive and helpful.

Thank you very much for taking the time to share such positive feedback. We are delighted to hear that, despite the pressures on the AAU, you experienced kind, professional and attentive care throughout your visit. Our teams work extremely hard to support patients during busy periods, and it means a great deal to them to know their efforts are recognised.

We will make sure your comments are passed on to the staff involved, including ANP Stacy, who will be grateful to know her care made a difference to your experience. Thank you again for your thoughtful words.
