Here is what you had to say about the Trauma and Orthopaedics team
On October 21, I phoned to see if a bed was available at 6am for that day and had a lovely confirmation ‘Yes’ and was admitted at 7am.
Within a quarter of an hour I was taken to the ward. From then on everything was so organised. Mr Matthews the consultant (such a gentleman) explained the keyhole surgery for the shoulder operation.
A short time later a female doctor who was the anaesthestist explained the anaesthetic, and by 8.30am I was on my way for operation.
Next thing I remember was at around 11am my name being called and then being back to the ward. Whoever made the tea and toast, must be a 5-star Michelin chef.
I was completely looked after by nurses, even being attached to a warm air blanket.
I was told I could possibly be out of the ward to go home for 2pm. I saw Mr Matthews, who made sure that I was all right and explained that the operation was successful and said that I could leave.
Nurses came with all the paperwork in a ‘goody bag’. They had even made arrangements for me to be seen by the district nurse on the Monday and had arranged physio later on in the month. My tablets to be taken were also there.
So from admittance at 7am to discharge at 2pm. No one could be faulted. The organising was superb.
Congratulations NHS – and also a great thank you to the District Nurses who saw me so promptly.

I recently had a knee replacement at Llandough Hospital
From the most junior members of staff right up to the most senior: the surgeon Mr Ghandour, and the anaesthetist, Dr Nick Grove, I was treated with respect, kindness and skill.
It is now just over two weeks since my operation and I am recovering really well. We hear so much bad press about our hospitals and about the NHS, but I have nothing but praise for Llandough.
