"Recent trip to A&E resus, MAU and Ward C2"

About: Royal Blackburn Hospital

Firstly, I am a healthcare professional and my standards are ridiculously high. Especially when it is a member of my family that is unwell! My Mum was admitted to A&E resus on Friday 9th Jan 2015, The care was simply brilliant. Mum was treated and stabilised and all of the staff were really friendly and reassuring. Mum was then moved to the MAU, where again the care was excellent and in my experience of MAU, a bay with same sex and 4 beds. Unheard of but exactly how it should be. The staff on ward C2 were excellent and I have to commend a Staff Nurse for her caring, compassionate and good humoured approach to nursing. My Mum was treated promptly and effectively, resulting in what was a threat to her life being a pleasant experience and a relatively short admission to hospital. I can only thank and praise Blackburn Royal Hospital for the improvements that have been made, it really is noticeable.
