"Needs better admin but medical team were great"

About: Grantham & District Hospital / General surgery

(as the patient),

Everyone was lovely, kind beyond what I might have expected. So thank you one and all.

The admin/communication between staff was somewhat lacking however: I wasn’t expecting to be admitted as an in-patient, and the ward wasn’t expecting me as an in-patient either for a pre-procedure briefing,

The pre-colonoscopy leaflet could have been a bit more detailed regarding the effects of the laxatives. E. g. make It clear that pads are available, for the uninitiated it came as a shock

Back to the staff: you were “epic” as the advert says

Dear Fantasm245,

Following the comments you raised about our colonoscopy leaflet, we have now inserted some wording around the effects of the laxatives. The new booklets are currently in production and will delivered within the next month.

Best regards,

Nikki Woodcock - Head of Endoscopy, Screening and Physiological Sciences
