"Hand surgery"

About: The Royal Victoria Infirmary / Plastic surgery

After seeing a consultant on the plastic surgery outpatient clinic I was referred for surgery on my left hand..

I was admitted to ward 39.

On arrival the nurses were brilliant, they explained everything in great detail.

I spoke with my consultant and anaesthetist as I was having a regional block.

They explained everything which helped me relax a little.

I was then taking through.

I can honestly say that the time and effort and patience that all the staff had for me was brilliant!

You did everything brilliantly and even made a few jokes to make me laugh.

I was awake through the whole of my surgery and it we went really well.

The staff were great throughout the whole procedure.

Even to the point when I was taking back to the ward and was allowed to relax until I was allowed to go home.

I would recommend the R.V.I to anyone especially if you are really nervous.

Thank you again to everyone involved.

To the man on reception, the nurses all the doctors,, everyone.

Thank you for taking the time to write in and thank the Directorate for the care and treatment you received whilst on Ward 39 and undergoing hand surgery at the RVI. It is always good to get positive feedback from patients when things have gone well, the clinical teams on the ward and in theatre and administration staff work hard to provide an excellent service and help patients feel at ease and we are sure they will appreciate your praise.

We hope that you are recovering well from your surgery.
