Mr Mark Edwards

Written by a NHS patient at Royal Sussex County Hospital

I want to give my thanks to Mark Edwards and his team following my discharge from his care a week ago. On June 21st I was admitted to Royal Sussex Hospital, Brighton for an open AAA operation. My admission followed my aorta measuring 5.6cm and helpful consultations, where the merits on an open operation were fully explained by Mr Edwards. The admission procedure was smooth and the nurses and anaesthetist were more than kind and explained what was going to happen and what I could expect. In all, the preoperation experience left me feeling totally at ease and fully trusting the medical staff. Post operation I was admitted into the Intensive Care Unit at the hospital and the views from the window were outstanding! The ward is on the 8th floor with panoramic views of Brighton seafront. I was in this Unit for 4 days and the level of care was exemplary, the nursing staff were so kind and attentive. I would particularly like to thank Milly who was so kind, professional and empathetic. I saw Mr Edwards daily and was informed about all the next steps in recovery daily. From the penthouse suite of the Intensive Care Unit I was transferred to the Vascular ward where the level of care was equally as good but the views less inspiring. Such wonderful professional care does not just happen - it is due in the main to inspired leadership that permeates throughout the organisation. I am sure that Mark Edwards sets the parameters that others are proud to follow. If anyone who is reading this is concerned or worried about the operation I hope that these comments put your mind at rest.

Dr Mark Edwards is in my view 'as good as it gets' for my treatment and care. He informed me of what surgery was going to be implemented and what would happen after it , it was just as he said. I have more of the same surgery to be performed at a later date by Dr Mark Edwards and I have no fear that this will not be carried out to the same perfection as my first.

Mr Edwards did give me a good examination but it did feel hurried. Unfortunately I got the impression that it was just a chore and I was not given any time to ask questions and quickly discuss them.

I was called to see this surgeon and was very nervous over the possible outcome. I was put entirely at ease during the careful discussion that followed. I came away very impressed with the detailed way I was listened to when discussing my problem. The details were fully explained to me and gave me much reassurance. The air of profound competence was most impressive. Thank you indeed!
