"Excellent Day care experience"

I was recently admitted for surgery on my shoulder as a day case patient on Rawcliffe/Winstanley Ward and felt I had to write a review to say thank you for the care I received. The nurses could not have been more attentive and the anaesthetist and surgeon were so patient and ready to explain everything. I was extremely nervous as I had never had a general anaesthetic before, but I was talked through everything step by step and would not be worried again. Everyone I came into contact with from the hospital- pre op nurses, waiting list clerk, consultants, ward nurses and anaesthetists were all very kind, professional and helpful.

The only small problem I had was that the clothes I had worn were not suitable for after the operation. I had followed the advice given to wear something with buttons down the front but as I was not able to get my affected arm into the sleeve I could not fasten the shirt and perhaps could have been advised to bring something bigger.

Thank you once again to everyone for their hard work and care.
