"Right leg amputation Pine Cottage Colman Hospita l Norwich"

About: Colman Hospital

(as the patient),

Thank you for the care and help shown to me during my recent stay at Pine Cottage, Colman Hospital in Norwich. Loss of a limb is a life changing experience, a big hurdle to overcome at any age both physically and psychologically and I can think of no better place to start this new journey.

For many older patients who may have been reduced abruptly to total dependence on others this can be a frightening experience needing special nursing and rehabilitation skills. My time at Pine Cottage, in a positive and caring environment and ongoing support through the re enablement programme has been an education in how a dedicated team can combine to help individuals literally ‘get back on their feet. ’

Thank you again. I feel very fortunate to have met the right people at an important time in my life,

Ensure the patient, carer or family member voice and experience is heard, acted upon and used to help services know when care and treatment works well and where it can be improved.
