"Stand out staff member"

About: Sydney / Sydney Eye Hospital / 2 East (Medical Unit)

(as the patient),

Having spent almost 2 weeks in the general ward at Sydney Eye Hospital, I'd like to compliment, Frank, who is one of the wards persons. I felt (on some days) that I wanted to be outside! Frank would park a wheelchair almost every afternoon outside the room and when he had a break he would wheel me down onto the grassy area. Trees, birds, people and sunshine is a wonderful therapy. 

Frank would collect me after 15 mins - I have to say that this man is a hard worker, is known by all staff, obviously liked by all patients, as far as I could see. I thank him so much. Of course, I also thank every single staff member!

Dear neptunehp83,

Thank you for taking the time to provide such lovely feedback for Frank. It is really wonderful to hear that he goes the extra mile for our patients and this made a difference for you. I will be sure to share your kind feedback with Frank and the other staff. Having some time outside the confines of the hospital ward is very therapeutic and I am thankful we could accommodate that for you. Thank you once again for taking the time to write to us.

All the best over the Christmas season and I hope you stay safe.

Kind regards

Alan

Director of Nursing and Support Services
