"Genuine caring consultant"

About: Crosshouse Hospital / Physiotherapy (A&E)

(as the patient),

This was my second visit to Crosshouse A&E over the past 4 weeks with my current problem and on this occasion my experience was much more positive. I was referred to A&E by my GO to see a specialist physiotherapist.

After checking into reception I saw a nurse in triage who then took me through to the main A&E department.

I was then seen by a lovely young lady who I think was called Gemma. Gemma made me feel very much at ease by explaining what she would be doing and assured me she would be doing whatever she could do to try and help me with my back problem. No doubt Gemma has recorded all the details of her assessment and treatment carried out by her along with the further treatment she would suggest in an effort to help with my back problem.

I would like to thank all the staff who attended to me on this visit to Crosshouse A&E with particular praise given to Gemma who was very genuine and caring in her attention to me. Thank you!

I respond initially to most of the posts and ensure they are passed to the appropriate team whether they are compliments, observations or grumbles. It is important to make sure all issues are addressed and I try to encourage that to happen for all the posts as required.

Dear Aspire534,

I am sure you are right and you did see Gemma. Thank you for such lovely feedback of your whole experience. I know the team and Gemma will really appreciate such good feedback.

I am sorry you have had to visit us twice with a bad back, that can be so painful and debilitating too but I have to thank you for taking the time to let us know how pleased you were with your care. I hope you are recovering now.

Best wishes for a rapid recovery.

Eunice
