My Aunt has just been on ward 4 of chesterman unit at the Northern General where she had 2 heart valve replacements. The care she received was excellent and she is making a good recovery. The only disappointment we had was with her discharge. No arrangements had been made for her warfarin follow up which meant the day after her discharge she traveled all the way to Barnsley General for her blood taking. This should have been a consideration for the staff on ward 4 and the Dr's looking after her. This could have had serious consequences for her recovery.
