If I could give more than the 5 stars allowed to me for the staff at this Hospital I would! First class in every aspect and can’t thank them enough, each person has made me feel so at ease the twice I’ve had to visit, they absolutely deserve the world.
First class care each and every time I've attended as a patient and as an outpatient. 2 epidural cesarean gealthily and safely brought my children into the world, A&E diagnosed heart issues resulting in successful open heart surgery - double by-pass and replacement valve. My mother's confusion diagnosed in dementia. All attendances to the hospital have been exceptionally good.
The care is above and beyond in the ITU, I've never experienced the attention and empathy that I've received here In the past 3 weeks so far Dr's, nurses, auxiliary,physio, pharmacist's,ward manager and hotel service's thank you so so much.
surgical day unit, Gynaecology, lovely department women and men there are so friendly put me at ease with my high blood pressure,
It was unsafe the anesthetist said for me to have a general anaesthetic due to my blood pressure being so high and my diabetes was high too, he would not entertain an epidural either because of my MS, I had two options to come back another day or to have a local anesthetic, it was a very difficult decision for me but I was brave and went for a local, the consultant Miss Elbadrawy was excellent at her job 100%, she was talking me through it the whole way as to what she was doing, she also turned the screen around for me to watch whilst I was on gas and air ,also the anesthetist was brilliant too. They all said I was very brave, I felt really good afterwards, still under the influence of the gas and air!.

I was very ill when admitted to this hospital. So ill and close to dying, the gynae, renal, neurology, and other teams worked tirelessly to bring me back to health. Every nurse in every colour worked with me too, constantly encouraging and comforting. In my darkness moments when I truly felt death was near, a nurse would hold my hand and simply be with me until the fear passed or I fell asleep. Unable to eat or move for many nights, the day came when my body started to regain strength and the internal organs and systems began to function again. Soon I was able to eat real food and it was delicious. The catering staff were so kind. Encouraging me to eat, arranging small portions, serving my favourite foods wherever possible.
A friend from Washington DC sent a Welsh Brew tea cup as its my favourite tea and my tea was served in this daily. Gifts arrived from family and friends as visits were restricted and nurses were as excited as I was to help me unwrap packages. Nothing was too much trouble for anyone from the consultants, through the nurses, the catering and housekeeping staff and the cheerful porters.
Nights were often challenging with pain or occasional incontinence . Often anxiety took its toll and a few quiet words with a comforting cup of tea got me through these nights.
When the physio team came to see me I was unable to sit up without support and nausea and dizziness made the transition difficult. With compassionate encouraging expertise, I managed to sit unsupported and finally to stand in a "Sarah Steady" a standing aid which trains the body to support itself once again.
I practiced the exercises at least three times daily and with good food I began to build muscle once again. I weighed just 7 stone at 5 ft 6 inches so I was underweight and malnourished.
Within a few weeks I went to the physio gym and we planned a first walk with the parallel bars. One of the physios recorded it on my tablet and I managed to walk the whole distance 3 times with a rest inbetween.
A time of such emotion and celebration, we returned to the ward on the "scenic " route, going outside to savour the sweet fresh air and warm sunshine. It had been over 2 months now since I had been outside the ward. Returning to my quiet bed in the corner I slept for a while and on waking up,my physio was smiling at me with a Costa coffee and a brownie to celebrate. Such kindness made me emotional again.
After several more weeks of nurses encouraging me to wash, shower, walk, use a conventional toilet instead of incontinence aids. The physio sessions lengthened daily and the doctors began to smile. We had turned a corner and health was returning.
3 months and 2 weeks of constant care. Expert nursing and medical aid, good food, excellent physio and lots of laughter, chatting and comforting in times of despair. The day came when I was moving to Llandovery Cottage Hospital for rehabilitation before returning home. I gained a stone so was now 8 stone, regaining muscle and body strength.
I was sad to leave my peaceful corner and a fellow patient who had become friends. Saying goodbye to the staff that were on shift and promising to stay in touch, I was transported to my new home in an ambulance with 2 delightful and cheerful souls and within an hour I was sitting in a bright and sun filled ward. Glass panelled doors leading to a pretty garden, I am now on stage two of my journey.
The care at Glangwili General, from A&E to the Wards was exceptional. It helps with your mental health when attending hospital to be taken care of so well. Especially for a weekend. Thank you to all the Consultants, GP, Nurses, Porters, Kitchen, the new doctors and wider staff for making your place run so efficiently. My stay was exceptional. God bless you all. I'm on a recovery and pray that the service will always remain the same. Thank you
Cannot fault my visit here whilst on holiday. I was seen within an hour of arriving at a&e. Within the next hour I saw an ent consultant and given a bed on a ward. Food was good, staff exemplary.
Best care I could have wanted. What a team in A&E. and CDU !!! I can’t thank each and everyone one of you enough.
