(as a relative),

I just feel that I need to contact you about the way my wife was looked after her diagnosis

I couldn't believe how caring, efficient and totally there for us your staff and departments were

The range of equipment needed to cope with this disease is extensive from wheelchairs manual and electric,special beds,hoists,stools,chairs,special feeding equipment and food,suction machines and as the illness progresses specialist communication equipment

All the above was supplied to us almost before we needed it, and we now know this is not the case in other parts of the country through a lot of contact with fellow MND sufferers

I will make a point of personally thanking the personnel involved with my wife's care but thought that although my heart is breaking at the loss of my wife I needed to share my thoughts as we only normally hear the bad reports of our services

Thank you Bromley Healthcare you are the Gold Standard

Thank you so much for taking the time to feedback on your experience of Bromley Health care- particularly at such a traumatic time.

May I offer our deepest sympathy at the loss of your wife under such tragic circumstances.

I am certain that you will be a great inspiration and receive support via the MND network of patients that you refer to.

I will include the address of the MND Association below as, if you have not already done so, they are certainly a resource for support.

With Kindest regards and thanks once again

Julie
