"Excellence in Nursing Service"

About: Northampton Hospital / Emergency Department

(as a friend),

I took my friend to Northampton Hospital as she received a nasty dog bite and was in a bit of pain. Upon arrival she was greeted kindly by the receptionist and it wasn't very long before the Emergency Nurse Sheena took her and myself into the emergency department.

I can say that Sheena acted with courtesy, professionalism and kindness to my friend. I knew my friend was very anxious relating to her ordeal with the dog. Sheena recognised this and was most kind and explained everything to my friend that she was going to do for her. Her professionalism and empathy calmed my friend and, in my opinion, the contact she made with the doctor was great as well.

Her examination of my friend's bite was precise and was dressed very gently. Sheena explained all that my friend needed to do as she was to be followed up for an x-ray for further investigations in the ED at another hospital.

I want to say a huge thank you to all at Northampton Hospital and congratulate them on their exemplary service. Going to the other hospital was nowhere near as good an experience, but that's another story. 

Once again I salute and thank Northampton Hospital and Sheena for such a great experience.

Sincerely,

Dear camelopardalisqe66,

Thank you for your lovely compliment about the professional and compassionate care you received at Northampton Hospital. Our staff pride themselves on providing high quality, patient-centred care to everyone. It was fantastic to read that the care Sheena provided your friend was empathetic and reassuring and that her explanation of the treatment plan assisted to make her comfortable during what must have been a stressful experience.

It was my pleasure to pass your feedback on to Sheena and the team who are appreciative of your kind words. It means a lot to them that you have taken the time to let them know that their efforts are appreciated.

I hope your friend recovery is going well.

Kind Regards

Leanne Sice
