"Nothing but kind, attentive and considerate"

Our late father recently passed away on ward 8c in Gartnavel Hospital, the staff were outstanding considering what was going on around the place. Our father was deteriorating and there were other patients walking in and out of the shared room he was in shouting and rummaging through his belongings but one morning nurse Joanne came and had our father moved into a room of his own at 7am

Most days the ward was only words I can explain it as is crazy but throughout the craziness and business of the place those woman as in nurses were nothing but kind, attentive and considerate, they treated us like we were family too, offering us breakfast tea and toast and popped their heads in to not only see if our father was ok but also the family we will never forget that

The physio had my father up walking only just days before his passing and that really made him happy and for us to see him elated was a memory we can’t forget

We would like to say thank you to all the staff and we take our hat off to you lot for the job you do under the pressures we saw

Special thanks to nurse Cathy and Pam on at night time and to Joanne on in day time also to Dianne and Jacky for making our father laugh so much, he couldn’t wait to tell us and telling him stories about their children and grandchildren and showing him photographs, he enjoyed that
