"Surgical Inpatients"

I recently had to stay on the surgical inpatient ward as I needed a operation on the emergency obs and gynae list.

I arrived at 12pm and was shown to my room, beautifully clean and well equipped. I was checked in by a lovely student nurse and kept informed with what was happening by the team of doctors and nurses.

I went down to theatre around 6.00pm and was back at 7.30. All of the staff were great looking after me, checking if I was ok or if I needed anything. I can’t thank them enough they made an awful situation bearable.

Everyone I met from domestics, porters, pharmacy staff were all very friendly.

The staff on the ward are so busy, there is simply not enough of them but sadly this is the way the NHS is today. The staff are worth their weight in gold and could not have done enough for me - they never stopped - constantly up and down the corridors their feet must have been on fire and they must have walked miles. Keep up the hard work everyone. You are all an asset to the NHS.
