Dr Liz Kingston

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. I value hearing your experience, as carers often have the best insight into what will best meet the needs of a patient. I am glad I was able to put everyone at ease and smooth over any anxiety.

Thank you for your very kind feedback. It is very encouraging to hear that explaining what should be expected was reassuring for you, and helped you feel calm and relaxed during your procedure. I hope you are recovering well, and that this positive experience will be useful in having confidence for future anaesthetics.

Firstly, I hope you are recovering well from your caesarean section. Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback during what must be a very busy time for you. I am glad to hear my care helped you feel calmer during your time in theatre, and that you felt clear about what would be happening.

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback for the care you received. As an anaesthetist, I take great satisfaction in following a patient's journey from pre op assessment and explanation, through their care in theatre and recovery, and finally reviewing how patients are post operatively. It is very common for patients, and their relatives, to have worries leading up to an operation, but often these can be reduced or overcome by careful assessment and explanation of what is to come. If procedures are undertaken as an emergency it is doubly important to follow up pre op discussions after the operation to check what has been understood, and to answer any queries, as this will often help patients and their families come to a fuller understanding of the events. I appreciate your very kind feedback, and I am glad to hear you were happy with the care you received. I wish you well for your recovery.

Thank you for sharing your experiences and taking the time to leave your kind feedback about your emergency caesarean section experience. I appreciate that having any operation can be challenging at the best of times, but adding being awake to this for caesarean delivery requires careful management to help patients have a positive experience. I was grateful for your honesty which allowed me to tailor my care more closely to your individual needs, and I have a personal interest in medical hypnosis, which I enjoy using in my care. I find that guided meditation and relaxation can be very helpful during delivery and was glad it was of use to you too. I hope this was a good, positive experience of anaesthesia that you can use to build confidence for any future care you receive, and I wish you well for your recovery.
