"Excellent Care"

About: Glasgow Royal Infirmary / Day surgery Glasgow Royal Infirmary / Theatres, Recovery and Anaesthetics The Princess Royal Maternity Unit / Gynaecology

(as the patient),

I was advised of the availability of a last minute Hysterectomy in order to remove cancer from my womb in December 2025. The care I received at the admissions unit was empathetic  and caring .  Even at the commencement of operation the team working with the anaesthetist, Cameron, were kind and considerate ! 

Dr Lynsey who operated on me was clear and to the point , and very confident  and informative ! She made me feel at ease !! 

The care and compassion from each and every one of the staff on ward 56 was second to none ! There were 4 in the ward and following the operation we were cared for by Regina , who checked our vitals  on the hour every hour with a compassionate, caring manner and consideration for the time of year and diagnosis!

Followed on with nurse Mhairi who was professional, compassionate and caring throughout my visit !!

Well done to all the ladies who worked on the ward! You done your job and more !! Thank you for all of your help, care and compassion !

Dear elsie21,

We are incredibly grateful for your thoughtful words about the care you received during what must have been a very difficult and worrying time. Your feedback means a great deal to the whole team.

I’m delighted to hear that the Admissions Unit, Cameron and the anaesthetic team helped you feel supported from the outset, and that Dr Lynsey provided the clarity and reassurance you needed before surgery. I’ll make sure your comments are passed on to them.

The team on Ward 56 will be especially touched to hear how well cared for you felt throughout your stay. Regina and Mhairi will be thrilled to know their compassion and professionalism made such a positive difference to you.

Thank you again for recognising the kindness and dedication of the staff involved in your care. We wish you all the very best in your recovery.


Warmest regards,

Nikki
