About: University Hospital Monklands University Hospital Monklands / Urology (Ward 6)

(as the patient),

Was brought into monklands general hospital mid December, then was sent to the beatson gartnavel glasgow, for radiotherapy on my back, was there until late december then brought back to monklands for physiotherapy and occupational therapy and this helped me very much, very big improvement.

Dear Kevster

Thank you for taking the time to post your experience of care here at Monklands Hospital.

39 days is a very long time to be in hospital and made more difficult over the Festive period. I am very pleased that the multi-disciplinary team worked collectively to manage your pain, assist you to get more movement in your legs and keep you upbeat and positive about your treatment and lengthy stay with us.

I hope you continue to make progress.

Kind regards

Ruth

Dear Kevster,

Thank you for your positive feedback regarding your care and therapy interventions during your admission to Monklands Hospital. I am delighted that you have benefited from your rehabilitation, and that you are achieving more movement and less pain. I'm sure this will help you to achieve increased independence with everyday activities now that you are home.

I will ensure that the therapy team at Monklands receive your posting, and hope that your feedback will help to motivate other patients who find themselves in a similar situation, or who have been in hospital for some time.

I wish you continued progress with your recovery.

Best wishes

Janice
