"Outstanding care from all staff"

I want to express my sincere and heartfelt gratitude to all of the staff on ward 107 at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary who looked after my Granda in the final weeks of his life.

My Granda was really unwell when he was admitted from a local care home and the 107 staff were amazing from start to finish. They treated him with respect and dignity. Nothing was too much trouble. It was the total opposite to the care he was receiving prior to his admission.

The 107 staff did anything and everything they could to make his stay as comfortable as possible, they kept us well informed of his progress throughout his stay and were a rock to our family during some of the toughest times we have ever had to face. As well as keeping my Granda comfortable in his last few days they did everything to ensure we were too, with endless cups of tea, support and the odd blanket when it got a bit nippy in the middle of the night. They were efficient, thorough and the nursing care was excellent. My Granda has always been a bit of a cheeky chap and they humoured him and kept his spirits up when he really needed it the most.

The medical staff were also fantastic. Especially Dr Scott, DrFitch, Dr Dempsey, Dr Cheong and all members of the medical team and support staff. They tried tirelessly to try and treat my Granda the best they could, even when all of the options had run out.

Thank you again, your team really is a credit to the NHS.
