"Urology Ward C6"

About: Russells Hall Hospital

Over the last few weeks or so due to kidney stone/infection issues I have had to be admitted onto this ward. The first time I had to have a stent fitted. The procedure was explained to me by the consultant who answered all the questions that I had both pre and post surgery which put me at ease. The nursing staff on this ward were absolutely fantastic I have to say. My first stay was for four nights and from a personal point of view all the nurses were a joy to be around in terms of their professionalism in their jobs and also their polite, courteous and joyful manner in sometimes difficult circumstances. Not long after my first stay I was re-admitted again for a further three nights and again their professionalism shone through. I have just received a date for further surgery soon and I can honestly say that I have no qualms being on this ward again as I know I will be treated and looked after well by the staff on there. They are a credit to the hospital and their profession. Chris Charles
