"The morning shift nurses were ..."

What I liked

The morning shift nurses were great and explained everything clearly. the surgical staff was excellent. I am very pleased with the care I have received from my consultant. His surgical nurses were professional and went out of their way to make me feel more comfortable before the procedure.

What could be improved

I was not terribly impressed with the after-care I received following my (day) surgery. The nurses were not readily accessible whilst I was recovering on the ward prior to going home and did not provide me with all of the information I needed with regards to following-up with my GP, etc. Nor did they take into consideration that my surgery ended up being more intensive than was expected, so I was not provided with better pain meds or the additional information regarding what to expect during recovery. I felt a bit alone during the hours before I went home....
