"The care provided was of the highest standards."

About: University Hospital Hairmyres / Emergency Department

(as a relative),

Exceptional care on Saturday night when I rushed my elderly mother with major bleeding to the department.  The receptionist, whose name I didn't  see, was wonderful  with excellent communication skills. They could not have been more helpful. It was an exceptionally busy department  but the care given to my mother was of the highest standards.

As an nurse of many years I was very impressed and reassured that my Mum was receiving such good care and attention.  I would especially  like to thank the two wonderful nurses, Rebecca and Pamela, who are a credit to the department,  along with the nurse in charge, doctor and surgical team. At a time when capacity issues are challenging and staff have been under high pressure for a number of years now, your care and professional standards were second to none. Thank you from myself and on behalf of my family

Dear Dangerous waits

Thank you for taking the time to feedback to us regarding your recent attendance at our Emergency department.

I'm sorry to read that your mother has been unwell and suffered a major bleed. This must have been a very worrying time for you and your family.

It is reassuring for me to hear that despite the current challenges faced in our hospitals, staff showed high standards care, compassion and kept effective communication throughout your mum's stay.

I will share your praise with all staff and in particular our receptionist and nurses, Rebecca and Pamela whom you personally mention.

I do hope this finds your mum feeling better.

Kind Regards

Carol
