Mr Bruce Ramsay 2019-02-17 Person 5 5 0

I started Nursing 38 years ago. One of my additional roles is Infection Prevention and controll link nurse and I am a Student Nurse Mentor. I mention this as I am extremely difficult to please when it comes to high standards and levels of cleanliness and care. People that work with me know how fussy I am. I expect to be shown kindness and care as well as being treated with respect and skill when I am a patient. My experience of Mr Ramsay and his team and colleagues only started six weeks ago. In that time my high expectations have been totally surpassed. I had a very small vaginal bleed on the 3rd January 2019. This culminated in a total laparoscopic hysterectomy for grade 1a endometrial cancer on the 13th February 2019. Mr Ramsay is very professional in his manner which helped me to feel confident in his ability. I wouldn't have had surgery at Peterborough hospital if I didn't feel like I would be well looked after. From the first visit to the outpatients clinic I was observing for levels of cleanliness and high standards and wasn't disappointed. I had, of course, researched Mr Ramsay as a surgeon in advance. I was extremely well looked after by the whole team and the post operative period had been equally impressive. It's amazing what they can do through little incisions. Mr Ramsay came to see me on the evening of the day of the surgery to explain his findings. It was 8pm and I had seen him that day at 0800 prior to the surgery so I really appreciated him taking the time and care to see me at the end of a long day. The first morning post op I was able to get out of bed with very little discomfort. My wounds have looked incredibly clean from when I took my first tentative look, I am now 4 days post op. I have continued to feel better each day which can only reflect the skill of Mr Ramsay as a surgeon. I am totally impressed and would recommend Mr Ramsay as a surgeon.
