"Yous are a great bunch!"

About: Prince of Wales Hospital / Emergency Department Royal Hospital for Women / Gynaecology Services Division Royal Hospital for Women / Macquarie Ward

(as a service user),

I was admitted from POW hospital on a Monday to the royal womens Macquarie ward with a ruptured cyst on my ovary. I couldn’t have asked for a better team to look after me.

The staff in ED were fantastic and had me seen and given pain relief within 30 mins of presenting to the hospital. Anna and Emer the doctors looking after me in ED were angels!

My ward doctor Sara was one of the kindest doctors I have ever met in my life, and kept me updated every step of the way and spent time to sit by my beside and talk me through everything that was going on as well as ringing my partner as soon as I got out of surgery to come back up to the hospital.

The nurses on the ward were amazing and I had the best bunch of girls looking after me during the day and at night, nothing was a bother to them.

I’ve never been admitted to hospital before and especially with being at the other end of the world away from home made it even worse but everyone was patient and kind.

My anaesthetist Richie calmed me down before surgery and put me at ease before and after the surgery. I just want to say the biggest thank you to everyone who I met during my stay! Yous are a great bunch! Thank you to the nurses Amiee, Hee, Mary, Crystal, Jodie and Rosie (to name a few) yous are an amazing bunch!

Dear conditionermb45

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. I was delighted to hear that staff from all the Macquarie ward and that the Dr's care in ED you mentioned looked after you so well and made you feel comfortable and at ease.

We are very fortunate to have dedicated people working at the Royal Hospital for Women and this dedication makes us particularly proud of our employees and their commitment to providing care of the highest standard to all our patients.

I will forward your feedback to the staff of all areas involved in your care. Macquarie ward staff Amiee, Hee, Mary, Crystal, Jodie and Rosi. The medical staff Anna, Emer and Sarah and Richie the anaesthetist so they can share your kind words with their colleagues

kind regards

Wendy Hudson
