Share review of Mr Simon Ellis

I am very sorry that your operation has been postponed as a result of the increased risk of infection secondary to your diabetes. It is vitally important that the risks of elective surgery are reduced to the lowest possible level. I was also informed of the cancellation by the pre-admission team who contacted you. I do understand that cancellation of surgery is always upsetting and is generally undertaken for good medical reasons as in your situation. I hope by the time you read this feedback you will have had the opportunity to read the letter I wrote which was sent to you explaining the course of action we needed to take. I appreciate that you would have appreciated a call from me personally and I have taken this on board to help others in the future. I look forward to undertaking your surgery when the time is right. With kind regards Simon Ellis
