"they could not have done more for mum"

My mum was admitted to Ulster hospital. She had terminal cancer but was admitted with an infection. From the very beginning of her stay her care was fantastic. The staff on ward 3a were compassionate, patient, flexible and attentive. I couldn’t have asked for a calmer, kinder environment for mum.

Sadly she didn’t get home but my brother and I are so grateful for the level of care she was given by all members of the team - the palliative nurse, the nutritionist, the doctors, nurses even the cleaning staff had a little chat in passing. It was truly exceptional - the staff accommodated a brief communion which was so important to mum and they allowed us to sneak in early when it became clear she wouldn’t get home -they could not have done more for mum ( or us!)
