Dear Arthur westie

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I hope your brother is starting to feel much better now.

It is always rewarding to hear that our staff are continuing to provide excellent care to our patients, and their family members, when they need us most.

I would like to pass your kind comments onto the paramedic you spoke to, and the ambulance crew who came to your brothers aid. Would you be able to contact me, laura.martin@swast.nhs.uk or call 01392 453831, at your convenience, with the date and address that the ambulance attended? This would allow me to identify the staff involved and ensure they are recognised for the care they gave.

Thank you again for providing feedback on our service.

Kind regards

Laura

I have been able to identify the staff involved and will pass your thanks onto Catt and Mark, and also Amanda, the clinician you spoke to at the 111 service.

I am sure that they will all appreciate your kind comments.
