About: Russells Hall Hospital / Accident and emergency West Midlands Ambulance Service University NHS Foundation Trust / Emergency ambulance

(as a relative),

My dad collapsed at his care home and cut his head open very badly my dad is 92. From the moment the ambulance staff arrived and transported him to a and e he was treated brilliantly. It was late at night and the nurse went and made him coffee, even though they were being abused by a very rowdy man. They treated an old man with dementia with kindness and respect, by doctors, nurses, the heart monitoring practioner. The nurse who glued his head was so gentle and kind to him even though it was painful for my dad she tried her very best to be gentle with him and treated him kindly. On we moved to EAU where Becky greeted us with open arms. My sincere grateful thanks to everyone who was involved.
