About: Queen Victoria Hospital (East Grinstead) / Plastic surgery Royal Sussex County Hospital

(as the patient),

I had a scary diagnosis last year and was operated on with a skin graft . I have had planned follow up with radiotherapy and supervision ever since under the care of Mr Salam and his team at the Queen Victoria Hospital including Maggie and the MacMillan nurses . Also with the Oncologist Dr Simpson at the Sussex County . I want to pay tribute to the kindness , concern and professionalism of all involved .

My Dad was a patient here in his 90`s but first visited in 1941 when he was in the RAF to see one of their pilots . I qualified in Medicine in 1969 Mr Salam is one of the best universally respected Surgeons I`ve known .Thank you Mr Salam and East Grinstead .

Dear Izod

Thank you so much for taking the time to pass on your positive experience regarding your skin cancer treatment both here at Queen Victoria Hospital and Sussex County Hospital.

Your comments have been passed onto Mr Salam and his team, along with Maggie and the MacMillan clinical nurse specialists, who I know will all be humbled by your kind comments.

We are very pleased you found our staff caring and helpful. Such comments mean a great deal to staff as they strive to give quality care to all of our patients.

It's amazing that your father visited one of his RAF colleagues during World War II and then again as a patient himself many years later. I wonder whether he noticed any changes in that time!

Once again thank your comments and I wish you all the very best with your recovery.

Kind regards

Nicolle Ferguson, Patient Experience Manager
