"Wonderful feeling of teamwork and camaraderie"
Posted by Deirdredx23 (as the patient), December 2023

Admitted to Stracathro Hospital at the end of November ‘23 for knee replacement surgery. The team were amazing! So kind, caring and compassionate. Lorna, Julie, Amy, day charge nurse, Natalia, night charge nurse, Sandra in Theatre and Karen & Lisa, the physios, to name but a few. Wonderful feeling of teamwork and camaraderie. Always a smile and no ask too much. This approach and environment all aided my recovery.

"I found staff in all areas to be extremely helpful, friendly and professional"

From the time of my arrival at Stracathro hospital to undergo hip replacement surgery I found staff in all areas to be extremely helpful, friendly and professional .Pre surgery, I felt informed and supported by the Stracathro team, The admission staff , nurses, consultant surgeon , anaesthetist and all associated surgical and ward staff were excellent .Post surgery, the excellent support and care continued. The nurses, ANP, support staff were friendly and supportive. In recovery, the excellent care continued and the Physiotherapy and occupational therapy teams delivered excellent care and support. I doubt my discharge could have been possible so soon if I had not received this level of care and support. I would not wish to leave any staff out from the Stracathro team as I Feel the excellent planning and holistic approach to the care I received was only possible by the team working so seamlessly together.

"What a great bunch of people"
Posted by silverwarecp73 (as a service user), November 2023
Surgical admission for a right hip replacement. On arrival at Stracathro I was greeted by a receptionist who gave all the information I needed, then was swiftly taken into the ward by a health care assistant. The communication and care from the minute I stepped in the building was first class. Everything was explained to me from the very start of the journey. It was such a well run department and a great team. What a great bunch of people. Such a positive a good experience.

"The care I received"
Posted by encryptioncx97 (as the patient), October 2023
I had nasal surgery at Stracathro Hospital yesterday & had to comment on the wonderful standard of care I received. The staff could not have done enough for me - every single one of them - from the receptionist through to my anaesthetists & consultant, were smiling, genial & totally professional. Special mention to the wonderful nursing staff - especially Caroline in the morning & Cat in the afternoon, who were both my main nurses for the day. They were outstanding and are a credit to the NHS. As indeed all the nursing staff were - every single one I encountered was fantastic. And the cleaners never stop all day. Faultless care & service. 10 out of 10.

I was admitted for a procedure recently. From my time of admission to my discharge, the care and kindness of all the staff was excellent. I felt very at ease and comfortable in approaching anyone for any help or advice.

"A very friendly and clean hospital"
Posted by nuthatchhj64 (as a service user), August 2023
It was my first time at Stracathro I was in surgical for knee hole surgery. It wasn’t a good time for me to be having the surgery as my husband was in Ninewells with a bad infection from an op the week before at PRI. But I shouldn’t have been concerned the care was second to none and I have nothing but total admiration for each and every one of the nurses and doctors on duty that day. A very friendly and clean hospital with a very relaxed atmosphere despite being very busy. Thank you one and all.

"It was second to none"
Posted by sierranf86 (as the patient), July 2023
I went to Strathcathro Hospital, Tayside Health Board, for an ankle operation, to help with the fusion of an ankle bone. My experience was 10/10. I could not fault the team, from the nurses up to the surgeon herself, Mrs Nuirm. She explained everything in detail as did the anaesthetist, nurses could not do enough for you. The operation went very well, the people who did the surgery even came back to see me after surgery to make sure all was okay, then I stayed overnight and they discharged me the next day. The care was 100% and the aftercare service was 100% as well. I then went to Ninewells in Dundee to see the physio dept there, and to get a cast off, and again the service was 100%. I was in an orthopaedic ward at Strathcarro Hospital and ward 14 Orthopaedic in Ninewells to get my cast off and put in a boot. I know people knock the NHS but I’m not one of them. It was second to none, everything was explained before and after the surgery. I couldn’t fault anything, I’ll give everything ten out of ten.

"CT Scan Stracathro Hospital"
Posted by Nana1111 (as the patient), June 2023
I had a CT Scan in June at Stracathro Hospital. (I’ve had several CT Scans at Stracathro) Every time, I attend a Scan I am amazed by the wonderful team. The Receptionist, Nurses and Radiographer are just wonderful. It’s impossible to put in to words how wonderful they all are … kind, caring, thoughtful and professional. No matter how busy they are, they always have a smile on their faces, take time to ensure you are comfortable and explain everything in full. Stracathro is indeed a very special hospital. Thanks a million to all of you.

"A great team"
Posted by Jasper67 (as a service user), May 2023
I was in last week for a hernia repair and can't thank all the staff enough for the care I received. They took the time to explain everything and nothing was a problem. Even the cleaners put a smile on my face when I was waiting to go for my op, which was great for taking my mind off what was about to happen. I hope the management realise what a great team of staff they have.
