"End of life care"

My father in law was admitted into Ward A and was treated with kindness, respect and dignity.

Despite the extremely challenging times for our NHS, my father in law was moved into a large private side room with several fans. It was quiet and peaceful. The staff provided my family with a comfort trolley and continually checked and explained each stage to us.

A staff nurse Julie was so compassionate and intuitive to the pain and sadness we were experiencing. The palliative care nurses were amazing and so supportive. The staff in the coffee shop showed such kindness, one member of staff even helped me carry soft drinks entire way back up to the room. Other staff members from the restaurant demonstrated such care and thoughtfulness too. 

God called my father in law home and he left this earthly world peacefully.

My family thank you all for keeping him comfortable and treating him with dignity. Also, for being there for us in our sadness and grief.

We pray for all our hospital workers and thank God for them in these challenging times. My father in law was always very appreciative of our NHS staff.

Thank you
