My father was transferred from BGH to The Knoll Hospital at the end of June 2019. Unfortunately, his condition (anaplastic brain tumour) deteriorated very rapidly and he sadly passed away in July 2019. During his time at The Knoll, the care my father received was exceptional - the hospital Dr is the most caring and thoughtful Dr I've come across for some time (not just in terms of his patients but the time and kindness shown to patients family/carers is just amazing), the nursing staff are simply wonderful (I was told by one nurse "she was 'just' doing her job" … if only she realised how 'just' doing her job impacted so positively on the relatives of her patients - outstanding women in their workplace! The nurses not only cared for my father but they always made sure my Mother, my dad's family and myself were okay as much as possible under the circumstances - that kindness will never be forgotten. The respect and dignity shown when my father did eventually pass away, whilst feeling surreal, was incredible. Despite the sad circumstances, the overall care and advice provided at The Knoll Hospital was truly outstanding. I cannot find the words to thank the staff enough - they were all just fantastic.
