"The approach to patient care was amazing"

About: Queen Elizabeth University Hospital Glasgow / Minor Injuries Unit Queen Elizabeth University Hospital Glasgow / Orthopaedics (Wards 10a, 10b, 10c &10d) Queen Elizabeth University Hospital Glasgow / Xrays and Scans

(as the patient),

I attended the Minor Injuries unit at the QUEH. The female nurse who saw me was nothing short of brilliant. When I explained my symptoms some of which I found embarrassing, she was so kind and understanding and put me at ease making it easier for me to tell her everything that was happening. Her approach to patient care is amazing and I can honestly say it was because of this, that I was able to speak openly about all of my symptoms.

I was admitted to Ward 10B later that night and again I can’t thank all of the staff - Doctors, Nurses and Domestic - enough for their attention and care.

The Doctors explained to me what scans I was having and why - which on previous visits wasn’t always done - and made sure I understood what the results were and what they meant - on a previous admission, I learned these things by reading my discharge letter.

The Nurses were all very attentive and made sure I had everything I needed from pain relief and food when I wasn’t on the ward for mealtimes to towels when I wanted to shower and double checked that I understood what the Doctors had told me. These small things make a huge difference when you’re in pain and don’t feel at your best.

The MIU team and the Ward 10B team should know that I truly appreciate all of their care, kindness and I would like to thank all of them.

Dear correspondencepz47

Thank you for taking the time to leave such lovely feedback in regards to your experience of using the Minor Injuries Unit and the Orthopaedics Department of the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital.

It was great to hear how the nurse displayed great patient care and were able to put your mind at ease straight way making you feel comfortable enough to explain the issues you were having.

I was also pleased to hear how the doctor took the time to listen and explain what the process would be and what scans you were having and why. This must have been a great comfort to you.

I'm glad you had a pleasant experience and you received the care and attention you deserve when attending hospital and in unfamiliar surroundings.

I will be delighted to pass on your thanks to all the staff involved who I'm sure will be happy to hear they made a difference while you were in their care.

Kind regards

Kevin
