Excellent care from start to finish!
I started my stroke treatment in Omagh Co Tyrone at the beginning of Jan 2025 when I was taken to SWAH near Enniskillen.
I was assessed as having had a stroke and my treatment path commenced. I received a transfer to the Ward 14 Lagan Valley Hospital.
For continuing treatment to include Speech Therapy, Occupational Therapy and Physiotherapy for my variety of problems I suffered. I found that the integrated approach work well for me personally.
The Ward Staff in particular which included a mix of experience and student nurses. I would like to express my gratitude to them for their care towards me and encouragement which kept me going!
