Pain Treatment at Royal Hospital for Women

Posted By Pain Patient Sydney

"Pain Treatment at Royal Hospital for Women"

About: Royal Hospital for Women / Macquarie Ward

(as the patient),

I have been receiving regular inpatient treatments for my severe chronic nerve pain at the Royal Hospital for Women since 2021. 

Having spent a lot of time in hospital growing up and having many negative experiences, I was initially very nervous about having to stay for up to 7 nights per admission and multiple admissions every year. However, I have been so delighted and moved by the quality of care from the nurses and other staff in the Macquarie Ward. I’ve been dealing with this pain condition for nearly all my life, and being able to receive treatment in such a supportive environment has been truly life-changing. 

While the treatments themselves are sometimes scary or unpleasant, thanks to the atmosphere cultivated by the beautiful nursing and support staff, I’ve had only positive experiences in Macquarie Ward. 

Special thanks to Doctors Jason, Chris, Anna, and Emer, and to all the nurses including Freya, Mary, Lily, Syama, Gemma, Lily, Felicity, Jodie, Hee, Rosie, Erin, Liz, Amiee, Emily, Crystal, and everyone else! My quality of life has improved so much since becoming a patient here. Thank you!

Our Chronic Pain Team and Macquarie Ward staff are highly specialised and experienced and they are all very committed to providing the best care possible for their patients and families. I can only imagine how challenging it must be to live with a pain condition especially such a long lasting one.

It's very good to hear that you have had such a positive experience during your admissions and treatments with us and that this has improved your quality of life. We believe every patient deserves this high quality of care.

Your positive feedback is really valuable as we are always looking to ensure we provide the best possible care and person-centered experience.

Your post will be shared with the fabulous staff you have mentioned and the Macquarie Ward and Chronic Pain Team who I know will really appreciate your lovely feedback.

I wish you all the best and continued wellness.
