"My recent attendance for a surgical procedure"

About: Karratha Health Campus / Surgical Services

(as the patient),

I recently had to undergo an arthroscopy on my left knee in Karratha Health Campus Surgical Services and was a little worried at the prospect of having  general anaesthetic.

I needn't have worried, from the moment I stepped into the unit, I found the staff were welcoming, professional and supportive, explaining everything in Stage One and ensuring I felt informed and comfortable before entering the theatre. I found the staff inside were exceptional, going as far as to hold my hand and giving me reassurance whilst I was going under for the surgery.

On waking, my excellent care continued, from the recovery nurse's friendly face and compassionate nature to the after care in Stage Two, where I believe the nurse was attentive and thorough. I cannot express my gratitude enough for the care I was given, and in my opinion, the Surgical Services Clinical Nurse Manager should be very proud of her wonderful team.

Dear Waffle,

Thank you for taking the time to share this with us at Karratha Health Campus, I appreciate how it can be a daunting prospect leading up to an operation especially with general anaesthetic.

I am pleased to hear about the positive experience, this feedback assists us to be aware of our health care delivery being in line with the WACHS values. I will be sure to pass on this feedback to the team and the Clinical Nurse Manager as you have highlighted.

Kind regards,
