"Great Emergency Care"

About: Bairnsdale Hospital / Emergency Department

(as the patient),

Attended emergency at Bairnsdale Regional health - it was clearly a busy time. The staff were kind, kept pts up to date and people were seen and cared for. Doctors took time to explain treatment and plans. And the new emergency chairs with charging ports are a brilliant idea and very comfortable!

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and for recognising the care provided by our Emergency Department team during a busy time.

We are particularly pleased to hear that staff took the time to explain your treatment, respond to your concerns, support your comfort and ensure you felt cared for while in the Emergency Department.

We are delighted to hear that the new waiting room chairs have improved your comfort. These chairs were generously donated by the Metung Bloodhounds, and we are incredibly grateful for their support in helping us enhance the experience of our patients, families and visitors.

I will be pleased to share your kind words with the ED team. Feedback such as yours is a nice reminder of the impact that kindness and communication can have alongside excellent clinical care.

We are grateful for the opportunity to have cared for you and wish you all the very best.

Warm Regards,

Daisy Marsden
