Dear Uhh201,

First of all I thank you for posting a very positive comment in relation to the service that the Occupational Therapist has provided whilst you have been in hospital.

Being in hospital is never an easy time and I'm glad to know that we, as a profession, have made a difference to your stay and hopefully the quality of your life on your discharge.

I wish you well and thank you once again for your kind comments. I shall pass them onto the therapist who covers ward 9.

Helen
