Hip Replacement in the Derwent

Story from nhs.uk

"Hip Replacement in the Derwent"

About: Royal Bournemouth General Hospital

Anything else?

Overall the treatment I received was excellent and my recovery was far quicker than I had expected. The nurses were cheerful and kind and the food very good. One criticism is that on the only occasion I needed to use the bell for help to get to the toilet, the day after the operation, I did not get any response for several minutes and had to make my own way. I recognise that the nurses were very busy but some system is needed to give priority to immediate post op patents.
