"Minor op on my leg"

About: Forth Valley Royal Hospital / Day Surgery

(as the patient),

I attended Forth Valley Royal Hospital in Larbert this morning for a mini op on my leg (cyst removal). I was quite anxious about it so I made sure I was there in plenty time. I got parked no problem and made my way to the Ambulatory Care unit and registered my attendance. I didn't have to wait long and was actually called through about 10mins ahead of my appointment time which was great.

A senior nurse called Kirsty performed the op and was assisted by an auxiliary nurse called Jill. They were both absolutely wonderful, they helped me to relax and performed the op with the absolute minimum of fuss. I was very impressed by their professionalism and kind nature and just wanted to pass on my thanks formally.

Public Bodies such as the NHS are often subject to negative criticism and not nearly enough positive feedback is given. I have nothing but praise for our NHS and the amazing staff it has. Thank you to Kirsty, Jill and all of our NHS for the fantastic job you do.

Dear CMcC

Thank you for taking the time to get in touch to leave such lovely feedback about your recent visit to Minor Ops.

It was lovely to hear how Kirsty and Jill were able to reassure you and keep you relaxed throughout your procedure, it can be quite stressful coming into hospital.

I will share your feedback with the team who will be delighted to hear your kind words.

I hope that your leg is healing well.

Kindest regards
