Surgery ward 16

Story from nhs.uk

"Surgery ward 16"

About: The Royal Victoria Infirmary

I cannot rate highly enough the treatment I received from high dependancy and ward 16 only one member of staff let down the 100 percent rating I give ward 16 sad that one member lets you down and didn't respect my dignity. but that aside the care I received was second to none.

However as for the chaplaincy they receive no star rating from me. Bedside communion on a sunday I sat waiting and nothing and yes they had been informed I was in . The hospital is outstandingly clean and staff friendly meals were ok. The discharge procedure very good I felt involved In desicions about treatment. The technician in the mri scan centre was very calming as I was worried about the mri they made the whole procedure seem it took only a few minutes

Well done and thank you
