"Greatly improved experience"

About: Royal Cornwall Hospital (Treliske) / Gynaecology

(as the patient),

In Jan 2019 I visited Eden Ward for a day case gynae procedure. I arrived at 7am. Sadly, I didn't go down to theatre until almost 5pm. I was dehydrated, headachey and tearful. I'd had no information about what was going on. I ended up having to stay overnight, in a bed opposite a patient with dementia. There were also drilling works in the car park until very late at night. Sleep? Not happening.

Fast forward to today. I attended for another day case procedure. Arrived at 7.15. I was delighted to be first on the list. Really thrilled that those ladies on the list for the afternoon were told they could have a drink and toast.  Good learning.

My thanks to the staff on Eden Ward, amazing as ever. Special thanks to AP Heidi. Fantastic employee. Brilliant at her job.

Thank you for my experience today. It makes me forget my past experience.

Your staff today were a credit. Thank you.

Dear valeriet62,

Thank you for taking the time to share your story with us, please accept my apologies for the delay in responding to you on here. I was sorry to read about your experience of the Eden ward here at the Trust in 2019 but very pleased to see that your most recent visit was greatly improved! I know that the team on Eden ward have already seen your story and we will make sure that Heidi gets the recognition she deserves - I have already forwarded on her name to the Learning from Excellence team here at the Trust who will send her a special thanks through the post.

Thank you again for taking the time to share your story with us.

Best wishes,

Jess
