Care kindness and support for my dad

Posted By Sorrento

"Care kindness and support for my dad"

About: University Hospital Hairmyres / Trauma & Orthopaedics (Wards 1 & 5)

(as a relative),

My dad was admitted for a knee operation but sadly developed complications and passed away after 8 weeks in Hairmyres. The main thing was the standard of care, kindness and support provided by the nursing staff in Ward 1 and HDU within Ward 12. Also the consultant and doctors tried everything within their power to cure him. They could not have done more for my dad. Their level of expertise, professionalism and warmth was superb. Also at the time of his death they were extremely supportive and this made it bearable.
