21 Patient Feedback Mr Arbuckle and his team were excellent, I cannot thanks the nurses enough for all their care and attention. I am leaving the hospital today and I will be ever grateful for everything they have done to aid my recovery The service I received ed was excellent. e I was really impressed by the doctors and nurses reception. I can't ask for more. Everyone has been so kind to me in their own special way. Many thanks. Very kind and helpful all round.

22 Patient Feedback Everybody from surgical staff, sisters, nurses, physio and OT were so very kind and understanding. I also think the cleaning staff are exemplary. My stay at St Albans Hospital has been very comfortable. I would be very happy (if I need) to come again. I cannot find anything that could be improved on. The nurses and staff were absolutely top class. Everything was covered as far as I know. I live on my own and have no family near me so was quite anxious about going home but it was all covered and explained to me. Staff on the ward were very helpful a majority of the time.

23 Next steps Continue to increase the number of Colorectal Surgery patients admitted on the day of surgery Expand the Upper GI programme to cover emergency patients Continue to reduce opiate usage post- operatively Expand the Gynaecology programme to cover elective caesarean patients Increase the number of Orthopaedic weekend discharges Expand the orthopaedic programme to the Trust s s Acute site
