Spent a week in this hospital in orthopaedics following ankle reconstruction? Excellent care all the way from theatre through nursing care and physiotherapy. Pain control and nursing care first class.

I am writing on behalf of a 56 year old gentleman that lives with us, I am Peter's carer. Pete has Down's Syndrome and severe learning disability and bar the actual time in theatre I have been with him every step of the way. He unfortunately has also been diagnosed with skin cancer. A very difficult situation for Peter to understand. From diagnosis, discussions about treatment and the subsequent surgery itself Mr Lim showed the greatest courtesy, professionalism and caring attitude towards Peter and to myself. This made a potentially difficult situation much easier and we are all very grateful and thankful to him. As a carer I had so many concerns for Pete and I am personally very grateful for the phone call Mr Lim made to me at home to reassure and but our minds at rest. He didn't need to do this and clearly cares deeply about his patients. Thank you Philip for everything you have done for Pete.

I was sent by my GP to the Ambulatory Care Unit last Thursday with a HB of 80, and told I may need a blood transfusion. As soon as I arrived on the unit, I was very much looked after - the staff couldn't have been kinder or more attentive. I had various tests following which I saw the Dr. who gave me the choice of either a blood transfusion, or an infusion of iron, the latter of which I decided on. I had the choice of tea, coffee, orange juice, water, biscuits, sandwiches, yoghourt etc. , as did my husband who had accompanied me, throughout the day. I am to have a further infusion of iron on Saturday. The unit is fantastic, and my care was second to none.

I was admitted by ambulance which I called, as my asthma was badly affecting my breathing. I was checked in at A&E within 25 minutes and within 2.5 hours was diagnosed with a bacterial infection and admitted, to treat the infection and also to restore my oxygen level and peak flow readings to a respectable level. I was in 48 hours and was well cared for my the ward staff and the asthma consultants. My experience of A&E was also very positive, even though they were very busy. I was concerned about my diet - I am also a coeliac, but apart from the first night - it was 23.00 hours and food availability was very limited - I had had nothing to eat since breakfast - the rest of the time that issue was well looked after

I attended Ambulatory Care on a Thursday evening directly from my GP who was concerned that I was developing Lymphadenitis and Cellulitis in my leg. I was advised to take some toiletries and overnight clothes as it was likely I would have to be admitted. On arrival I was seen very promptly by a nurse and the Consultant on duty who took blood tests to determine the best antibiotics for my infection and to see how badly I was affected. These came back within half an hour, the correct medication was obtained and an IV started to infuse them. This took about 45 minutes after which I was allowed to return home with detailed instruction as to what to do should I feel more ill and another appointment for 9.30am the next morning. Basically this procedure was repeated daily for five days with bloods being taken to check that the infection was subsiding and I was also given blood thinning injections to prevent the possible formation of blood clots. On the Sunday my leg swelled alarmingly and I was given an out of hours appointment at the on call GP service located in A&E. It was Sunday evening and the place was packed, as expected, with A&E patients, some of whom decided after a long wait that whatever they had come for could wait until the morning and their GP. So obviously neither an accident nor an emergency. However we were seen within five minutes of our appointment and reassured that it would be ok to wait until our next appointment the following morning back in Ambulatory Care as I had been given the blood thinners as a precaution. The short story is that I was able to go onto a very high dose oral antibiotic with a review, on another Saturday morning, back on the unit. Throughout the care given by the nurses, health assistants and the on duty Consultant Doctors was exemplary. There was nothing that could have been improved. They kept me out of hospital whilst providing an equivalent level of care. I was dreading having to stay in hospital; it is, with the best of intentions, a boring, noisy and stressful environment. A true example of a 24/7 NHS. This must be the future. An amazing level of care delivered by every member of staff who explained everything, such as the meanings of my blood results, to the professional but personal manner in which they spoke to me. And most of this care happened on a weekend. I am more than happy for any of my remarks or observations being used to demonstrate how happy I am with the care given to me by the Staff on the Ambulatory Care Unit.

I spent three days in the Acute Admissions Ward recently, and was greatly impressed with the staff, all of whom were at the top of their game at all times, handling some difficult incidents in a highly professional manner.
