"Best 32hours ever spent in NHS care"

About: Royal Derby Hospital / Trauma and orthopaedics

I attended ward 203 bright and early on 21/6/17 to have work done to my damaged spine.I was taken to theatre around 9am and then awoke at around 1230pm in the recovery unit as if i had just had a long nap.The guys who put me under anaesthetic were very good at there job a few good lungfuls of the air from the mask and the magic mixture in my arm i was away.When taken back to ward 203 all was well i was on my feet within a couple of hours.With a little assistance using the toilet within 3 hours.All the staff were bouncy and happy within there duties on the ward.The meals were all good and the electronic adjustable beds were very helpful in assisting me in becoming mobile.The next morning was pleasant too a nice shower some breakfast then wait to see the surgeon for a chat.Around 1030 am 22/6 i was discharged and able to go home to start my recovery. I would like to thank my Consultant and all of their team for making my experience on ward 203 a very pleasant one! Cheers guys

Dear Mr Denton

It was very kind of you to take the time to write to the hospital; I am pleased to hear that you had a positive experience and that you wish to express your grateful thanks to the team on Ward 203 in the Orthopaedics Department.

I will forward your kind comments to the manager for the Orthopaedic Department to be shared with their staff.

I hope you are continuing to recover well and thank you again for taking the time to write into the hospital.
