"Good experience at small Cornish Hospital"

About: St Michael's Hospital / Trauma & Orthopaedics (including fracture/hand clinic)

(as the patient),

I was impressed by my recent consultation at the Hand Clinic. All the staff, from coffee lady to consultant, were universally happy and helpful.

The organisation was efficient and timely and everywhere was clean and tidy.

I was confident that my consultant effectively assessed my condition and that my planned treatment would be appropriate and expeditious. My Husband was able to accompany me throughout.

It was notable that the other patients I met and spoke to, in the car park and in the waiting rooms were as helpful and friendly as the staff, probably reflecting their own experiences at the hospital.

I appreciate it will be easier to achieve this patient experience in a smaller hospital, but there is no doubt the team at St Michaels is getting a lot right.

Dear likeablelexb73

Thank you very much for taking the time to share this positive feedback with us after your recent attendance. My name is Natasha Andrews, and I am the Governance Manager for St Michael's Hospital.

I am so pleased to hear that all the staff you encountered were happy and helpful and that the consultant you saw gave you confidence that the planned treatment was appropriate. It sounds like there were other patients that thought the same which is lovely to hear.

I will make sure that all your comments are passed onto all the teams involved. It's always lovely to hear directly from the patients themselves and the teams will be very thankful.

Best wishes

Natasha
