New mum - day surgery

Posted By KL83

"New mum - day surgery"

About: Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh at Little France / Day Surgery Unit

(as a service user),

My family and I received excellent care on ward 210. I was nervous about general anaesthetic as I am a new mum and so need to consider my son. The staff were great at putting me at ease, but more importantly they looked after my husband and my son while I was in theatre. I felt so reassured that they would be there when I returned to the ward and I got great updates from my consultants and the junior medical staff also did everything they could to facilitate my discharge and ongoing care. The nurses were great and provided me with a private Soave for me and my family to wait for my bed so I could breastfeed, and both husband and son got some much needed rest!

Thank you!

Dear KL83,

Thank you very much for sharing your experience on Care Opinion. I am so pleased to read that the staff helped you to feel at ease, and that you felt both yourself and your family received excellent care.

I will share all of your positive feedback with all of the staff. We know how busy you must be as a new Mum with a baby to care for, and the staff will be very grateful that you have taken the time to let us know.

Congratulations on the birth of your baby son and very best wishes to you and your family.

Pamela
