"Nursing Staff at Chiltern Day Care Unit (Rampton Hospital) always go the extra mile!"

This is a copy of a thank you letter that was recieved from a patient following a Directorate Recovery Event at Chiltern Day Care Unit for Male PD patients at Rampton Hospital.

I am just writing to let you know that I am very grateful for the recent events that Jacqui and Kath have facilitated at Chiltern. I have had a particuarly difficult few months and on Thursday 23rd April 2015 I was privileged to be part of the Saint Georges celebrations at Chiltern. Not only was it good to be off the ward, away from the ongoing life and events of a busy treatment ward; but it was fabulously restful to have fish, chips and peas out of a carton amongst other patients from the other wards who I dont normally see/speak with. Also, catching up with the other patients who I've not had opportunity to be with for a while, eating together informally.

After we had eaten, we had some fresh air, sang songs, played pool and scrabble. It was a lovely sunny day and without emphasising the point it felt like a holiday, a true break from normal routines, full timetables and a proper chill out.

So I am writing to say thank you for it's organisation and facilitation and please pass on my thanks to Kath and Jacqui too for always going the extra mile. I appreciate their hard work and yours very much.

With grateful prayers hoping Saint George, Saint Jade and Our Lady would pray for us and our Country.
