"The people to have around when the chips are down"

About: South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust

(as a relative),

On 26th June approximately 09. 30 I had to call 999 as I suspected my mother had sepsis. She was attended by Shaun and Hannah. Throughout the visit, in the ambulance to A&E, and in A&E I found them to be professional, treating my elderly mother with dignity and respect. They carried out a thorough assessment, which was helped by their exceptionally good communication skills, talking to my mother who is hard of hearing and was feeling dreadful at the time in an appropriate manner. They also communicated well with me. They acted professionally but with just the right amount of friendliness to reassure us and make us feel we were in safe hands. I cannot praise this crew highly enough, they are definitely 2 people to have around when the chips are down!

I am pleased to say that my mother is now recovering at home.

Dear Van,

Thank you for taking the time to share your story and I hope your mum is recovering well.

It is always rewarding to hear stories of how our staff are delivering care and support to patients and those around them when they need it most.

We would be happy to share your story with the ambulance staff involved in your mother's care, however, to do so we will need some specific information. If you would like us to do this, please may I ask you to contact us on either plaudits@swast.nhs.uk or 01392 453 831 and a member of the Patient Engagement Team will be happy to help you further.

Thank you, again, for taking the time to provide us with feedback.

Kind regards,

Sharifa
