"Bev Stokes Day Surgery Unit operation"

About: Northern General Hospital

On 3rd August 2018 I was admitted to Bev Stokes Day Surgery Unit for a minor operation. I was very impressed by the staff, their commitment, professionalism, and care they demonstrated throughout, including: receptionists; nurses; consultant and other medical staff. The procedure itself went smoothly and I was kept informed throughout about the progress, particular aspects of the intervention and what I should expect. The staff have also provided me with drinks and even food was offered. All relevant explanation was clearly given to me prior to release. I have to say the overall experience surpassed my expectations and it was basically a very pleasant one, which may sound rather unusual considering stress, anticipation and an inevitable fear associated with a surgery! Again, I was extremely satisfied and very impressed!.

P.S. Please note that the Unit is not listed under "Which Department did you visit" question below, so I left: "Don't know"

Thank you for leaving feedback and for sharing your experience. As you say, having to attend for any procedure can be very nerve wracking but it really will mean a great deal to the staff concerned to know that they were able to help you feel supported and well cared for. They really will appreciate this and be very encouraged by it.

With thanks and all best wishes
