Reviews
Advice in advance (book) very useful.
Excellent staff both before, in, and afterwards.
Therapists very gentle and understood pain I was in no pressure.
The timing of first visit (day after returning home) is an excellent idea. All questions were answered thoroughly and clearly and we felt reassured.
What would help patients is the production of a set of targets for each week after the operation.
My treatment was of the highest standard I could not fault them in anything.
Mr. Asley came to see me twice a day to see how I was coping.
First class.
Staff very good.
Treatment and drugs excellent.
Food too close together (lunch 1.00 pm not midday) usual parking problems.
Saturday discharge delays by pharmacy smart staff.
Nicky, the district nurse who visited me after discharge from ROH was a godsend. She gave me useful tips and increased the dosage of painkillers following my discharge too early. I was in excruciating pain on the evening of my discharge and it took me an hour to get upstairs and a further hour to get into bed. I should not have been discharged so early, it was cruel and it was against the advice of my consultant. There was disparity between the information provided by the Consultant and Pre-Op Assessment doctor and the actual discharge event. Sue, the OT who was called in by the district nurse to help me was charming. She provided invaluable tips and exercise advice. Both she and Nicky, the district nurse were a real asset to my recovery and were so very kind and understanding.
