Thank you for adding you comment to the NHS Choices website. It is always a pleasure to receive such positive feedback and we will ensure that the staff concerned are made aware of these. The Surgical Admissions Lounge has been in operation for several months now and provides a pleasant environment for patients waiting to go to theatre, with staff available to keep them updated. I am pleased to read that you had a positive experience and hope that you are recovering well from your recent surgery.
