Golden Jubilee National Hospital

This week saw people around the world celebrate #InternationalCreditUnionDay and we thought it was a good opportunity to tell you about the NHS Credit Union. They’re an organisation who offer affordable loans and secure savings for thousands of health service employees and their families. Unlike high street banks, they are owned by their members and run solely for their benefit. @NHSCreditUnion representatives will be here at the Golden Jubilee National Hospital next Wednesday to tell staff more about the work they do. To find out more go to www.nhscreditunion.com

Massive well done to our colleagues in the Golden Jubilee Conference Hotel on more recognition for their brilliant #customerservice.

Went through a triple bypass on the 13th Jan 2016 . Now one year on feeling fully fit thanks to the skill and expertise of the surgeons and t

he care of the nurses who took care of me. Special thanks to nurse Kirsten for her help and attention. Long may you continue with your excellent service and expertise in giving the care and healing to those in desperate need to allow them to continue a happy and healthly life.

Was in yesterday for umbilical hernia operation and would like to thank Angela in the surgical day unit for looking after me through the day also the surgical team the anesthetist was brilliant, Emma,Mick and Kelly for holding my hand and making me feel at ease and for the laughs.Cheryl in the recovery ward was fantastic in looking after me. The surgeon has made a great job. Amazing team and everyone was so friendly. Thank you so much �

The care and attention of all the medical staff, nursing staff and all the allied health professional was second to none. Thank you all.

Thank you to all the staff that looked after me today for my hernia op.Made me feel so welcome and relaxed.. All brilliant ...

My husband had triple bypass recently and care and attention given by Mr Pathi and his team throughout the process was second to none. We can't thank them enough.Our grateful thanks also to all staff in ICU, HDU and all in Ward 3 East.

My Dad's routine Valve replacement op turned into a marathon and what we thought was going to be a weeks stay in hospital has extended to 3 weeks - every single person involved in my Dad's care has been wonderful and we cannot thank you enough for your dedication, your care and warmth not only to my dad but our whole family. It was, i'm told, quite emotional for him as he left to be transferred to our local hospital where he is working on getting his mobility back; he has been singing your praises to everyone, he's only sorry that he didn't get to say goodbye to everyone on 3 East. Once again, thank you all so much

My Dad got home today after 6 days in 3 East after a triple bypass turned quadruple...I have never met such a beautiful bunch of people under the one roof. Everyone was so kind to us from the cleaners auxillaries and nurses and surgeon who did the operation. All of this was diagnosed and dealt with for My Dad in the space of 5 weeks and I will always be eternally grateful for the care and love we were shown from start to finish at the Jubilee. ICU were angels....standing over him all night after surgery.....overwhelmed and emotional and will always be thankful x a million for our NHS and the beautiful people who work for it. THANK YOU SO MUCH.XXXXXXX❤❤❤❤

It would hard to overstate just how good this hospital is: it really is a beacon of everything that a hospital should be. In the past four months I have had two cataract removal operations. The results have been extraordinary, removing any requirement for a glasses prescription (I was previously - 6.0 and -6.5) and restoring my vision to unprecedented levels of acuity and vividness. It has been life-changing.



The care I received at the Golden Jubilee hospital was exemplary throughout. What is really impressive about the hospital is that, at every point of contact, your experience as a patient is an excellent one - from the contact teams to the reception desk to the nursing and surgical staff. Unfailing courtesy, helpfulness and kindness go hand in hand with professional excellence. I really cannot thank the staff in the Opthalmology Ward enough for what they did for me and how they treated me as a patient. This really is the hospital you want to be referred to!

I was well looked after by the Orthopedic after my hip op april 2018 nursing team in ward 2west special mention to Bill staff nurses Kim and Alex's and Sunnny from the recovery team, Mr Baines and team , Anaesthetis ,physios ,OT ,Pain team Porter who took me back too xray on Saturday , cleaning and catering team a huge thank you from room 220 Maureen Teale x

I had an operation here on Friday and to say I was terrified was an understatement the staff were amazing with me and gave me

Lots of reassurance despite being busy doing there jobs, the staff during the night made sure I was pain free and well looked after too!! The only complaint I would have would be the conduct of the woman who brings you menus and breakfast who was rude stormed into the room at 8am and flung a Peace of paper down and said there’s the menu and walked out before i could say anything with no pen or that to fill in n came back to take it away again within about 1 minute then brought me breakfast of items I didn’t like and offered me

No alternatives and left again with the tray!

I had a knee replacement and cannot praise the surgeon staff enough. The whole experience was absolutely first class. I am now waiting to have my second knee done.

I had a Total Knee replacement on Tuesday 10th July and was completely relaxed as the Staff in the Operating Theatre were having a laugh with me as I told them I was 60 Years married and were saying all sorts of things and we were all having a laugh. Well everyone was so helpful and always look after me just First Class also meals were high standard and were away home on Friday 13th and if I had to fault anything and it is mainly my fault for being deaf the phone in rooms should have Speaker Phone. I didn’t take my hearing aids out and heard all the noises but certainly felt nothing. Thanks goes to Dr John Clarke and to everyone that took care of me in anyway. Thankyou again from Kathleen VINA Pirie.

Huge thanks for looking after my partner today and tonight after his coronary angioplasty......you are all angels �� x

Fantastic Hospital especially west ward 3 . Amazing staff even though they were so busy had a smile on their faces and couldn’t do enough to help me before , during and after my operation thanks you very much

Excellent facilities. Highly trained friendly staff using what would appear to be world class technology. This is a corner of the NHS in Scotland that we can all be truly proud of.

Both my parents have been in last 2 weeks to get their cataracts done from their first appointment till their operations last Thursday and Wednesday this week every member of staff was kind caring

Thank you so much

Awsome place. Awsome staff. Massive thanks to dr t cormack and all his team and staff in the opthamology for giving me crystal clear sight thanks to all.

All the staff from day one have been fantastic. Dr Stuart Hood, Dr John Sharp, Professor Roy Gardner supported by all the nurses and staff who have treated, diagnosed & performed all my surgeries deserve medals.

The jewel in the crown however, & i dont have the words to show how much me & Sharon feel about this wee belter... has to be RHFN Mrs Maggie Simpson .

...if Carlsberg did Angels x

Hi
