"Thank you so much for all your hard work your dedication"

My mum who has COPD and respitory problems and had recently finished Radiotherapy (about 6 weeks) ended up with viral flue A at Christmas. She was so ill and in her 79 years had never had a reason to go to and stay in the ED. We were expecting a long wait and truthfully a miserable time, my mum was triaged and seen within 40 mins.

The treatment my mum received was second to none x-rayed, ct scanned blood work and every test needed. It was decided my mum would be treated at home using the hospital at home service, amazing, 2 nurses 3 times a day times 8oclock am, 2oclock pm and 8 o'clock pm, the nurses were spot on time, everytime, they were absolutely  wonderful, they were so gentle and caring, there was nothing they wouldn't have done to help. They were patient and took time to explain everything that was happening not just to my mum but to myself and sister.

My mum is on the mend we were told it would take time for mum to get back to her original self and it has but she is so much better, the care and attention she was given was and is so appreciated even wen she was discharged they kept in touch the nursed set up aftercare including respiratory physio.

With all the problems the NHS has and all the negative stories. I wanted to write this wee bit just to say thank you to SWAH especially the nurses and carers who looked after my mum and me and my sister, and anyone else who was involved in setting up this service for her, you are all so appreciated and really the hero's of our community, again thank you so much for all your hard work your dedication, and most of all the care and dignity you treated my mum with.
