"Staff in A&E were truly amazing"

About: Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust - Queen's Medical Centre Campus / Older people's healthcare

(as a service user),

My elderly mum was admitted to A&E yesterday with severe chest pains. The staff in A&E were truly amazing, and treated Mum with great sensitivity and respect. They showed kindness and managed to calm her down when she was agitated about her pain.

Throughout all the procedures and each member of a great team we met, without exception, they were all lovely. Mum remembers all of their names.

She was later admitted to ward B3. It was light, bright, modern and very clean and again we met your brilliant staff members, especially the Portugese nurse, whose name we didn't get. Thank you all for everything you did for Mum yesterday. It was a very worrying time for us but you managed to put us at our ease.

Thank you for your kind words, which I’ve shared them with the Emergency Department team and my colleagues on Ward B3. We’re glad to hear your mum was well cared for and that our staff put you at ease. Please pass on our best wishes to your mum.

Kind regards
