"The health care at Dongara Hospital"

About: Dongara Eneabba Mingenew Health Service / Emergency Department

(as the patient),

I developed an ulcer on my right leg recently and went to our emergency department for wound care. The wound was not healing and it was suggested by the head nurse that perhaps there was insufficient blood flow. I had previously had a stent in the leg late last year and after a scan it showed that this stent was blocked. I had a stent angioplasty early this month and after the regular care and attention from the staff at Dongara ED it’s been found to be blocked again. This will hopefully be rectified shortly. As you can wait 2 weeks to get an appointment with the local Doctors I cannot fault the care and attention I’ve been given by the staff here in Dongara, most especially Andrea, who has been extremely caring and helpful. We are very fortunate to have someone with such excellent medical knowledge.

Dear Kilkenny

Thank you for your lovely feedback on Care Opinion.

I was delighted to read how well the staff, and in particular Andrea, looked after you during your recent presentations to Dongara ED for wound care. The care and attention you describe is a great reflection of the WACHS values and you are correct in saying we are fortunate to have them in working in our health service.

I will ensure they are appropriately acknowledged for their efforts.

I wish you a speedy recovery and thank you again for taking the time to provide this kind feedback.

Regards

Di Franklin
