"Excellent care from beginning to end"

About: Ipswich Hospital / Trauma and orthopaedics

I had a spinal fusion operation in Ipswich Hospital which was a big success. My experience was excellent throughout. I much appreciated the efforts of the whole team in providing care when needed, surgeons, nurses, physiotherapists and care assistants. Hospital Radio was a godsend during the first 48 hours when the pain was worst.

Even cheerful people dispensing meals and tea helped to lift spirits.

I was sent home with a bed support, walking sticks and medication. That bed support was invaluable in helping to get out of bed. The entire procedure was well planned and I felt supported once I returned home.

The car parking arrangements are far superior to that of any other hospital I have ever attended. It was good to have a form stamped by the ward staff and not have to pay for parking again after day 1.

I am pleased to hear that you experienced great care and treatment whilst a patient at Ipswich Hospital from everyone on the team, and that your aftercare at home was efficiently arranged and managed. I will pass your comments onto the ward staff who will be thrilled to see how they made a difference to your care. I hope you are continuing to make a swift recovery. Many thanks.
