"Amazing care and caring staff"

Where to begin

I first visited the eye centre in January 2021 as the next Covid lockdown began again...

The eye clinic dept was Covid safe and staff were available to help.

My appointment was with an Oculoplastics consultant. I was apprehensive about my appointment as I was fully aware that investigative surgery was required. The consultant and her team made me feel very confident that they knew the best course of treatment.

I agreed to surgery that would happen soon.

Then Covid restrictions meant a longer wait.

I wish to thank the staff in the office in the background that keep everything ticking over, they were always happy to answer questions and reassure that everything was on track.

Then fast forward to April 2021 get the call surgery is going to happen, from that moment forward I can honestly say although still very apprehensive all nursing staff from pre-assessment to Covid swab were happy to answer any questions .

Then the day you walk on the ward and it's happening

Looking back and reflecting I was in very safe hands.

The ward staff of ward 20 were so kind and made sure that I was safe and well cared for.

The staff in the theatre need a thanks too! And the recovery room.

As each and every one that took care of me made sure that I was their number one priority even though there was other patients to care for.

Nothing was too much bother even when I was unwell after surgery.

So again a HUGE thank you.

I am well on the way to recovery and a a new normal life.

as my son said eyes are not everyone's thing but so grateful that the eye dept make it their thing.

Eyes and their care are like marmite not everyone's choice but grateful that Oculoplastics team do what they do!!!
