"Well done monklands"

My mum became very unwell on a Saturday morning, nhs24 sent out a doctor to have a look at my mum. The doctor was extremely concerned and called for another doctor and paramedic’s 

My mum was taken to monklands a&e then onto theatre, they had to act very quickly as my mum had sespis and needed surgery urgently. Within a few hours my mum had a ct scan, surgery and was transferred to ward 7 and the ward 4. We have had to make very difficult decisions over the past 10 days. Without the guidance of MR McDonald the surgeon and the fabulous nurses like Karen, the decisions would have not been possible and it may have turned out not to be in my mums best interests.

 It is truly person centred care, with a added focus of a partnership between the medical staff and us as a family. My mum has dementia and with Johns Campaign I was able to stay with my mum and even get to wash her hair.

 Monklands hospital from start to finish have been outstanding, the care received was of a very high standard ward 4 you should be very proud of yourselves
