"A dedicated team of professionals"

In early September I thought I was having a heart attack. I spent three and a half weeks in the Forth Valley Royal Hospital where I was treated for a respiratory infection and excessive fluid on lungs and legs. 

I disliked being in hospital, mainly because I was there so long and my recovery was slow.  The food did little to encourage my poor appetite.  The wards were noisy and it was difficult to relax and rest. I think it was difficult to discharge me because my infection was stubborn and a care package had to be arranged.  The hospital staff struck me as caring, kind and hard working.

My GP made a home visit a few days after I was discharged and quickly decided to apply for Hospital at Home (HaH). I have been very happy with the care provided by my GP.

I found the HaH team to be thorough, and interested in finding the root causes of my problems.  They attended almost daily, however late and inconvenient for themselves.  I felt they were a dedicated team of professionals, personally involved in my wellbeing. They kept me well informed.  I cannot praise them more highly.

I was discharged by HaH recently.
