"Care for my mother was exceptional"

About: University Hospital Wishaw / Emergency Department

(as a relative),

My mother was recently admitted to the emergency care unit (ECU) at University Hospital Wishaw. She was diagnosed with an obstructed bowel. However, due to other co-morbidities she was not fit for surgery. She remained in the ECU until she sadly passed away. We stayed with my mum 24/7 for her final 3 days. We would like to extend our sincere thanks to all the nurses and doctors on duty at that time including day and night shift and the palliative care team. The care my mum and the family received was exceptional the staff could not do enough for us. We truly appreciated it.

Dear Amore Scotia,,

Firstly I would like to offer condolences at this sad time for you and taking this time to post your experience on care opinion.

I will ensure that this post is shared with the staff within ECU and sure they will be delighted to read your kind words under what must be a difficult time for you and your family.

I hope that you have a peaceful time over the festive period.

Once again thank you for taking the time to give this positive feedback.
