I was admitted today as a day patient to Ward 15 for a gynae procedure under general anaesthetic. I was very impressed with the staff and the system they operate, caring for 5 (potentially anxious) patients and their relatives. The staff were compassionate, caring and very considerate of my needs and it is likely I will have to return for more investigations, which I will now do with the confidence of being looked after well. Ward 15 is a 6 bed ward which is divided by curtains which unfortunately offer little privacy when in discussion with staff. I understand this might be unavoidable, but I found it uncomfortable as the patient next to me had 3 people accompanying her potentially hearing my personal symptoms and increasing the sound levels at a time I would have liked some peace and quiet. Perhaps instead this could be restricted to 1 friend or relative?
However, the staff were great and the post op tea and toast is Michelin standard! Well done and thank you!
"Excellent Staff"
