My thanks to the NHS overall

" My thanks to the NHS overall "

About: Heartlands Hospital / General surgery

(as the patient),

I attended the Endoscopy Unit at Birmingham Heartlands hospital for a procedure.

The welcome by the student nurse Layla was professional and friendly

I would have liked to have been asked by the sister if I had any objection to a trainee nurse putting the needle for sedation into my arm as she had a number of attempts before managing to do so and I have a fright of needles.

The sister in the recovery ward was so reassuring and friendly and so put me at ease before giving me the report which I was delighted to receive.

I would like this passed on to those folk that I felt made the procedure helpful when I was so uptight

my thanks to the NHS overall who do such a good job with the man power given to them.

Thank you again
