"Pre and post operation"

Very at ease on arrival. Dr Riley, Nicola, Elaine, Greig and Kirsten all attended to me pre-op and Theatre.

I woke up in ambulatory care after having a subtotal abdominal hysterectomy.  The nursing staff were Megan, Tiffany, Emma, Kristen, Nicola and Jen, they went above and beyond to make my stay a reasonably comfortable one. Nothing was a problem for any of the above mentioned ladies.

My husband was admitted to hospital while I was still in the ward. The empathy shown by Kirstin and Nicola on that particular day helped me deal with a very traumatic experience. Me having just had major surgery and my husband of 44 years fighting for his life in another part of the same hospital.

I was discharged after a three night stay which in my opinion was far too early considering I had no-one living at home to look after me. I am my husband's carer, it is imperative that I get back to full health as soon as I can so I can continue to look after him when he eventually gets sent home.

Thank you to the above staff, they are an asset to the NHS.
