Wards B21 and B32
Full of praise for all the staff. The trauma team were great kept me well informed about a 24 hour delay in my total hip replacement. They all introduced themselves by name from the surgeons to the students. They worked well as a team nurses physiotherapists occupational therapists and pharmacists Serco support staff.
This is how a hospital under pressure should run.
Only three minor suggestions:
First the VTE protocol ( to prevent thrombosis) was almost perfect but I think the compression stocking should be applied sooner not just post op
Second in the ensuite shower toilet room there is nowhere to place soap shower gel etc at the shower and if disabled as I was this was difficult. Could be solved with a simple attachment on shower pipe.
Third and even less important on being boarded out my dietary preferences ( menu choice) didn’t follow me so I had to accept the previous occupants choice.
Finally as someone who has an attachment to Stirling University I was proud of the numerous student nurses I met. They were v pleasant and v professional.
