I was originally booked for 29th April 2020 for a Subacromial Decompression on my shoulder as an NHS patient. This was postponed due to
Covid-19 lockdown.
I was rebooked for 6/7/2020, the first week of elective surgery starting up again after Covid-19 lockdown.
Communication from the hospital was regular and thorough, so I knew what was happening, I didn’t have to chase them at all. A new
pre-op assessment was carried out, I was told to self-isolate for 2 weeks prior to the op and a Covid test was done a few days before,
all with no difficulty and by abiding by the safety measures. I knew the hospital’s cleaning standards are second to none from my op
on the other shoulder 2 years before. I was reassured that every extra precaution had been taken and told that all the staff are
Covid-tested regularly. I was not allowed any visitors or anyone to accompany me on the day of surgery, but I was made to feel
completely at ease and was very well looked after.
Mr Ali Shafighian is excellent at what he does. He operated 2 years ago on my
other shoulder and did such an amazing job and my experience at the Horton Treatment Centre was perfect that I wanted him to do the
other one for me.
Kirsten Davies has been brilliant with my follow-up physio especially as it has all had to be by phone and video
call. I feel as well looked after as if I had physical physio appointments.
Thank you to every member of staff on my hospital
journey here from my first consultation to the op to the after-care! Their friendly, caring ways and standard of patient care is
first-class!
