"Fantastic staff at Perth Royal Infirmary"

A massive thank you to the fantastic team in ward 7, and theatre staff in Perth Royal Infirmary.

The care and compassion I have received has been truly wonderful. The staff are so kind, professional and respected my dignity at all times. The teams worked so seamlessly and all care explained to me. Both departments were calm with a very positive atmosphere.

The staff showed great support with the sip till send initiative. Interestingly the anaesthetist explained a procedure which included sensors on my forehead to monitor brain activity during the procedure to ensure that I got just enough anaesthetic for me. They used an analogy of Goldilocks and the three bears “not to little, not too much…just enough”. I woke up feeling so much better than I did the last time I had a general anaesthetic a month ago.

The environment and equipment was clean and well maintained. I observed the staff wearing PPE and performing good hand hygiene.

I do think there could be more vital signs machines, I think it would allow the staff to work more effectively.

Thank you!
