Very happy with care

Posted By Positivity 2021

"Very happy with care"

About: Altnagelvin Area Hospital / Emergency department General and specialist medicine / Ward 41 (AMU)

(as a service user),

I was in Acute medical ward Altnagelvin Hospital last month. Granted I had a long wait in A&E for a bed and can't fault the medical or nursing care. System clearly under pressure but staff remained professional throughout. AMU ward very clean well run and pleasant staff who introduced themselves. Very happy with care and treatment 💯

Dear Positivity 2021,

Thank you very much for taking time to share this experience regarding your recent visit to Altnagelvin Emergency Department.

I would like to apologise for the long wait in which you had on getting a bed. However, I would like to thank you for praising the care and professionalism in which you received from both medical and nursing professions. I will ensure I share your feedback with staff and I can assure you they will be thrilled to hear these comments.

I hope you are recovering well.

Dear Positivity 2021,

As a department we are continuously working together with wards, bed management and senior management to improve patient flow within the department, to ensure a timely admission to a ward. It is an ongoing issue but we are working within our capacity to improve this flow on each individual shift, and were able additional beds within the hospital are now opened when staffing allows.

Best wishes,

Laura
