Partial knee replacement February 2015

"Partial knee replacement February 2015"

About: Burnley General Hospital

I have been meaning to write a short review following my 4 night stay on ward 15 following surgery for a partial knee replacement in February of this year The surgical and nursing care I received was beyond excellent including all ancillary and support staff ( cleaners etc etc) I was under the care of the surgeon and cannot speak to highly of them. Nothing was to much trouble for any of the staff night and day and I would say was as good as any thing you would expect going privately. Food of a good standard and varied. I felt like I was being treated like I would be if being looked after by my own family and there is no higher compliment than that Also helped by my co patients some good laughs and constantly supporting each other Sadly the front line staff are sometimes let down by the faceless admin people it took 24 yes 24 hours from being discharged to receiving my medication from Blackburn and I understand that this is not unusual. The nursing staff are bring let down by these people
