"A heartfelt thank you"

We have recently had the privilege of being able to care for our Dad at home during end of life care.  This was due to the fantastic support  we received from the Palliative Care Team, Suzanne our Palliative Care Nurse Specialist, Melrose District Nurses and the Out of hours Services (BECS) .  They all enabled us as daughters to be able to care and support our Dad's wish to remain at home.  

The compassion and empathy shown towards us all made this difficult time that little bit easier. They were all extremely respectful of our Dad, his home and us and brought comfort and reassurance that we weren't alone.  While we recognise it was a team effort we would particularly like to thank Suzanne for co-ordinating his care and taking the time to support us as a family.  Also to Becs a service that doesn't always get the recognition for the fantastic work they do in supporting people at home.  Everyone was crucial in enabling our Dad to stay at home and without this we wouldn't of been able to honour his wishes of dying at home with dignity and respect for which we are forever grateful.  Thank you NHS!
