"Aberdeen Maternity Hospital, Westburn ward"

About: Aberdeen Maternity Hospital / Obstetrics (Maternity care)

(as the patient),

I was sent up to Aberdeen’s Westburn ward by my midwife due to having high blood pressure, pre eclampsia in October. I was induced the following morning. The care I received by the staff while on the Westburn ward by Linda and her team was exceptional. The nurses are clearly very busy but I felt very safe and secure and was very well looked after, the nurses all made time for me despite how busy they are. I feel truly thankful and grateful for my experience and want to thank them all so much for making it a very positive experience.  

The midwife I had for the majority of my labour was Donna, who was absolutely amazing, I really couldn’t have hand picked a better midwife and I will be forever grateful for the experience and support she gave me. We also had a student Bailey who was also great. 

Donna really is a credit to her profession and I want to thank her very much for making the experience a positive one for me and my partner.

Dear BabyB

Thank you so much for taking the time to give us such lovely feedback. It can be worrying when you develop problems in pregnancy, and need to have your labour induced, so it's always great for the team to hear that they made a difference to your care, and contributed to a positive experience for you.

I will be sure to pass on your thanks and comments to Linda and her team in Westburn Ward, and Donna and student midwife Bailey in Labour Ward. they will really appreciate it.

Thank you again and may I wish you and your family a Happy New Year and best wishes for 2018.
