"Wound care clinic"

About: Geraldton Hospital / Outpatient Services

(as a carer),

I’m currently taking my elderly grandparent to the wounds clinic for care. The staff are lovely each time we attend. 

The only thing that would make the service better would be text message reminders! Other outpatient departments have appointment reminders, it just feels a little behind the times that the wounds clinic doesn’t do text message appointment reminders as well.  I also noticed that the nursing staff hand write all appointments out. The nurses are already so busy, surely the receptionist can assist with rebooking and organising text message reminders to lighten their load (particularly on weekends when apparently there is no reception support and the nurses run around to do that job too!). 
The outdoor weekend intercom system volume is really low too, could it be a little louder, particularly for my grandparent who is deaf in one ear.

Dear festivityhr58,

Thank you for sharing your grandparent's experience with the wound clinic with us on Care Opinion.

I was pleased to read they have encountered lovely staff when they present. The team are committed to providing great care for the community and it is always great to have that acknowledged.

I will get your concerns regarding the appointment confirmation by text and the volume of the entry intercom to my management team to see if there are improvements we can make. I thank you for raising these issues and I am happy to provide an update for you on Care Opinion once reviewed.

I thank you again and I hope your grandparent is well.

Regards

Cameron Ross
