Good out of hours consultation for mother in law

"Good out of hours consultation for mother in law"

About: Forth Valley Royal Hospital / Ambulatory Care

(as a relative),

Phoned NHS 24. Given spot at local out of hours service at Forth Valley Royal Hospital.

15 min wait. Saw lovely registrar, Mark Haddon. Introduced himself, shook hands with my mother in law (patient) and myself (daughter). Took time to explain, great body language, eye contact and empathy and faced my mother whole time instead of being focussed on a computer screen.

Great explanation and asked if any questions at end. Made me feel like my mother in law was the complete focus of consultation.

Horrid recent dealings with another doctor at Forth Valley so restored faith. Thank you Dr Mark Haddon.

Dear Shopanon68

Thank you for getting in touch and taking the time to leave feedback about your mother in laws recent experience at the Out of Hours Service at Forth Valley Royal Hospital.

I have shared your comments with Dr Haddon and he really appreciated your kind words and would like to pass on his thanks for such kind and heartfelt words, it really is lovely to hear about such positive experiences of our care.

I am sorry that a previous experience you had was not such a positive one and if you would like to share with me the details of this experience you can contact me on p.marland@nhs.net or you can call me on 01324 566523.

I hope that your mother in law has made a full recovery and wish you both very well.
