"Care given to my husband"

About: Queen Margaret Hospital / General Medicine Victoria Hospital / Medical High Dependency Victoria Hospital / Stroke

(as a relative),

My husband recently had a stroke which resulted in him being cared for initially in MHDU at Victoria Hospital. While in MHDU he developed aspiration pneumonia. The staff were very caring and supportive to both my husband and myself.The pneumonia improved and he was transferred to ward 42 Victoria. The staff here were professional, caring and supportive.

He was later transferred to ward 7 at the queen Margaret to continue his rehabilitation. The support, care and encouragement he received from medical staff, nursing staff, OT, physio and speech therapy was  excellent. He made good progress and is now home. We are both very grateful to all who were involved in his care. Especially the staff in ward 7 as this was the ward he was in the longest.

Hi Buster01,

Thank you for taking the time to provide us with this much valued feedback for the ward 7 rehabilitation team.

It is wonderful to hear you found your husband's care in the ward was delivered in a caring supportive and encouraging manner. As a ward we aim to deliver person centred care throughout each person's rehabilitation journey.

I will share your comments with the ward team, they will be delighted to know they made an impact on your husbands time in the ward.

I hope your husband is settled back into life at home and you are both doing well.

Kind regards

Fiona Reid

Senior Charge Nurse, Ward 7 QMH.
