I found myself in A&E with a badly damaged wrist. The receptionist was the first pleasant, helpful person I encountered. Then Stuart, nurse practioner, appeared. He was so pleasant and professional and the ideal person to take charge of this situation. Then Carston, a nice doctor, became involved.
2 days later -A lady Orthopaedic Registrar, whose name I unfortunately can't remember, had phoned me at home on more than one occasion, to arrange surgery for this day.This organisation really impressed me.Nurses in Ward 9 were very nice also the porter on the tea trolley had a nice manner.I remember two Theatre nurses who were very kind and reassuring. I don't know their names but one was due to have surgery herself so I hope they recognise themselves!I visited the Plaster Room three times and the staff there were SO helpful and efficient.Also deserving a mention - the receptionist at the front door and WVS staff.Staff in Radiology were also very pleasant.
