"Safe, supportive and friendly "

Prior to arrival I had a couple of calls about my admission and Covid test etc. Very friendly helpful people. I was admitted to Cardiology ward early on 19th Nov. On arrival at the hospital I felt safe and reassured by Covid protection in place. Made my way to 3rd floor where after checking in, I was fairly quickly taken to the ward and prepared for surgery. All staff were extremely friendly, helpful, reassuring and most importantly professional. I was taken to theatre where the surgeon took the time to get all technicians to introduce themselves. Again, I felt completely safe, a bit nervous , but reassured and generally happy. On return to the ward again staff were fantastic and really looked after me. One individual was really comforting and helpful to me, but appreciate names can’t be given here, I was discharged around 18:00 with very clear guidance and information regarding what I needed to do and availability of aftercare. I have nothing but praise for Barts. Thank you for what you all do.
