"Visit to the ED"

About: Box Hill Hospital / Emergency Department

(as the patient),

Last time I visited the Emergency Department (ED) at Box Hill was in the old hospital and I had some concerns as a result of my previous visit. Last visit left me with an impression of an overworked and somewhat disorganised place. However, the contrast could not have been greater. On this occasion ED was a busy place when I arrived, but it gave me the impression of a well run efficient place in a bright and clean environment.

Commencing with the staff in the triage area where I was informed of what potential treatment options I may require, to the treatment by the medical staff. The whole procedure was very efficient and competent.

Particularly, the nursing staff were helpful and knowledgeable which reflects well on their professionalism and the ED management.

Dear greenjy54,

Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback on Patient Opinion. I am very pleased to hear that you had such a positive experience at the Box Hill hospital Emergency Department.

We are very proud of the new Emergency Department at Box Hill, and I agree that it is a very welcoming environment for patients and their families. However, we are even more proud of all the terrific staff who work in the emergency department and who are so committed to providing great care for their patients and their families.

I will make sure to pass your feedback on to them. I trust that you have fully recovered from whatever caused you to present to the Emergency Department,

Best wishes

Gayle Smith
