I arrived at 7am to have my surgery (ovary removal) I was greeted by a lovely nurse and taken to a room. Here I met the surgeon and the anaesthetist who explained everything and put my mind at ease. I was put on a ward at 9.30 then was taken down to surgery at 10.30. All the staff I met were lovely and really helped put my mind at ease, as this was my first time being put to sleep. I went into theatre where they put me to sleep and the next thing I knew I was waking up in the recovery room. The only thing I would like to suggest is that when a patient has just come round from surgery, the surgeon should tell the nurse or write down what they did as they told me when I woke up and I can’t remember what they said due to just coming round.
Overall service was outstanding and very professional. I would recommend this hospital/ward to everyone.
"Excellent from start to finish."
