"Every single Staff Member were absolutely FANTASTIC"

About: Forth Valley Royal Hospital / Cardiology Forth Valley Royal Hospital / Cardiology Outpatients

(as the patient),

Having been taken by ambulance into A&E  last week, I was due to return the following week for an Out Patients appointment the following Monday by prior appointment. (A planned appt). I had already been diagnosed with Atrial Fibrillation. I went for my Appt on the Monday and Consultant said I was to remain in hospital!  Long and short is:  I was diagnosed with possible internal bleeding too. Anyway, I was Booked onto The Cardiology Ward At FVRH Larbert. I could not fault MY CARE nor The WARD for all attentions provided by ALL STAFF Every single Staff Member were absolutely FANTASTIC.

Dear andromedaey36

Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience, which, by what I read sounds to have been complex and an unexpected admission.

I am glad we were able to provide you with care you required and hope that you are recovering well following all of this.

Despite all of this, I am heartened to hear that your experience was so positive and I will share this feedback the teams involved

kind regards

Alison

Dear Andromedaey36

I was really pleased to read about your recent experiences in the Cardiology ward. I will make sure to pass your comments on to the team who will be delighted with your feedback.

It sounds as though you must have had a pretty difficult time recently with a trip to hospital by ambulance and then a further unplanned stay in hospital. I know the ward staff do everything they can to make a hospital stay as good as it can be and I am pleased that during your time with us you experienced good care and all the attention you deserve. I hope things have settled down now and that you are felling much better.

Thank you again for getting in touch

Catherine
