"A formidable and incredible team"

I would like to thank and commend all of the amazing staff that I came into contact with during my just over three weeks admission to this unit. 

All of the staff were incredibly driven, professional and committed to helping me and my fellow patients to get better as soon as possible. In my extremely modern and comfortable room, I was cared for so expertly and with such great empathy and sincerity. Most of all, you could tell that every single staff member loved their role and I marvelled at how happy they all were at all times without complaint and never without a smile on their faces.

I have to give special mention now to several people within an exceptional team effort - to Eymard, Emily, Chloe, Kayla, Edward, Jonathan, Abbey-Leigh, Mary, Emma and Ellie. Thank you for your wonderful care and professionalism. To Deputy Sisters Nicky and Katherine and to Freddy and Chris - thank you equally for your care, passion and dedication which inspires all around you. Unfortunately, there are other names that I cannot remember but my thanks go to everyone without fail within this nursing team.

To the Physiotherapist team - Stacey, Brooke, Winny, Victoria and 

Caoimhe - thank you for your inspiration, encouragement, patience and excellence. You are an incredibly professional and top notch team.

To the Facilities Team - you make the best cups of teas and every day you cheered me up with good craic and chat - thank you and also for your hard work on behalf of all the patients.

Finally to Dr Hewitt and Dr Kabir. Thank you for your first rate attention and care for me when I was at my lowest and for helping me to get to where I am today in much improved health.

I have most definitely forgotten several names and for that I truly apologise, particularly those superb staff from the Critical Care unit - without exception, you are all stars, thank you! 

It was the first time in my life that I had stayed in hospital for a prolonged period of time but this team of staff in Ward 3b made it as comfortable and as welcoming as possible and I cannot speak highly enough of each one of them. They are all a formidable and incredible team who truly underline the adage that we are so blessed to have the NHS and its amazing staff - thank you once again and very well done.
