"hate hospitals, But Nurse.s made my stay enjoyable..."

About: The Princess Royal Hospital (Telford)

Anything else?

I was admitted to telford hospital on the 18th april 2013, next day onto ward 7. gastro, even thou I went in with pain in chest !. donot like hospitals ! but I have got to praise the nursing staff were great and I mean Great, they made my stay bearable ! even thou my notes from shrewsbury got lost, and a ward clerk off another ward offered to go and find them, because inside I had test results from previous test concerning chest pain !. I she did find them. but inside the results where not put in my notes or gone missing, so this caused me stress plus had to stay in alll over the weekend till things got sorted out. but this was not the nursing fault. they kept me calm. I found they went out of there way to get my health and any others promblem sorted in the best way they could and out of there working hours ! I would say ward 7 was a very happy ward all down to the hard working nursing. Well done, and thank you all, I could say few of your names, but will not because you all were great ! always think laughter makes you recover quicker !!!! I will finish this letter saying please head of hospital sort your selves out !

Thank you so much for sharing this. It is great to hear that the staff on Ward 7 provided you with great care even though you do not like hospitals. We are working hard to improve access to notes - our aim is that many more notes and results are available electronically so that are immediately at your bedside wherever you arrive for care.
