"The nurses were absolutely brilliant!"

About: Queen Margaret Hospital / Day Surgery

(as the patient),

I was booked in for a Fenton's procedure following child birth. I was very uptight about the procedure especially being put under general anaesthetic for the first time.

The procedure was done in day surgery and from the moment my husband left me in reception to the time I left the nurses were absolutely brilliant! They all had a great sense of humour too which took my mind off the operation and kept me entertained. In particular Lindsay and Sharon cheered me up but all of the lovely ladies in the ward were brilliant and very attentive.

Ruth and Alison continued the humour as I was taken into surgery. It was surprisingly an enjoyable experience, not what I was expecting before I arrived.

They all work so well as a team, everyone was really caring and it was the little things like Lindsay and Ruth coming to see me before their shifts ended to see how I was that really made me feel cared for. Thank you NHS Fife! You should be proud to have such great people working for you.

Dear Lorz

Thank you for posting on Care Opinion about your recent visit to the day surgery unit, I am very happy to read that you were well looked after and your experience was a positive one, its nice to read that all the staff were very attentive and made you feel at ease, both Lindsay and Sharon will be grateful for your lovely comments as will Ruth and Alison, I will make sure they all are made aware of your post, sometimes it is the little things that can make all the difference and as the Acting Senior Charge Nurse I can certainly say that I am proud to have such great people working in the Day Surgery and Theatre Team.

I hope your recovery is going well

Thanks again

Nola
