"surgery orthopeadics"

About: William Harvey Hospital (Ashford)

Anything else?

having to wait 9 and a half hours to have an operation,after being told to arrive at 7.30 am and not going down to theatre till 4pm....without food or fluids .i find quite unnexectable. whille i realize there are others in a que which take prioroty but this added to the stress and anxiety of my partners operation....apart from this the wait was worth it and i cannot fault the nursing staff, the theatre staff and the wonderful surgeons that did a first class job on my partners shoulder. the ward was clean and very efficiently run and i cant thank the staff enough .

Thank you for taking time to provide feedback, may I apologise for the delay you and your partner experienced. I will feed this back to the team, we take patient feedback very seriously and use it to look for ways to improve the service.

I am glad to see that you were both happy with the way that the operation went and the care your partner received from the clinical team. I do hope that your partner continues to make a full recovery. Thank you again for providing us with feedback.
