"Happy Patient & Family"

About: Victoria Hospital / Pre-assessment

(as a relative),

My di who is 84 years was Pre-Assessed by Jackie the Senior Charge Nurse at the Victoria Hospital. He had been diagnosed with cancer and was due to have an operation. He has vascular dementia and the last time he had an operation it did not go smoothly which left my di and the family very distressed. 

Fortunately this time, my di was extremely lucky to be under the care of Jackie at Pre-Assessment. She fully assessed him and put plans into place which allowed me to be with him before and after his surgery. Jackie was compassionate, caring and kept the family informed. He went into hospital following his Pre-Assessment and had a successful operation and got discharged that night with no complications. My family and I cannot thank you enough for the time you spent putting plans into place to ensure that his journey was as smooth as possible. 

Further operations are required and we all feel very reassured for his next trip to hospital after such amazing care. Thank you so much, you will never understand the difference you made to my di's day in hospital. We are all extremely grateful.

Dear Violetpm35

Thank you so much for taking the time to comment on Care Opinion. I am so happy that all the plans put in place from pre-assessment resulted in a smooth journey for your Di to undergo his operation and he was discharged without any complications. It is reassuring to know that your Di was treated in a caring and compassionate manner and that the family felt well informed in the lead up to the surgery. I am happy that the family feel reassured that future procedures will be managed efficiently following the 'amazing care' your Di received. I will pass on your comments to the team and let them know how extremely grateful you all are.

I wish your Di well in his ongoing recovery and future procedures.

Jackie
