"my experience from initial consultation to surgery"

Thank you for taking the time to leave us such positive feedback on the Care Opinion website in respect of your recent episode of care and treatment at Eastbourne District General Hospital; it is very much appreciated. First and foremost, we are delighted to read that the surgery you underwent has been successful, and that your bodily functions are finally back to normal (sorry we couldn’t provide that much wanted treble whiskey when you were in the Recovery Room!); we sincerely hope you have made, or are continuing to make, a good recovery in the comfort of your own home from a particularly sensitive procedure.

The Trust works hard to provide a responsive and high standard of care to all patients, and so we are very pleased this was your experience; furthermore, it is reassuring for us to read that the staff you encountered delivered our values in treatment of kindness, compassion, dignity and respect, and even good humour too from your Anaesthetist! It is these values that patients often find of great help and support in difficult, anxious or worrying times.

We will share your feedback with the teams who provided your care and treatment, as they will no doubt appreciate the kindness of your comments, and how much you valued their input. We wish you good health and well-being now and in the future.
