"Ward B1 - Credit where credit's due"

As a former staff nurse its very easy for me to be over critical and often unsatisfied with hospital experiences.

But this review is nothing but positive. The staff on Ward B1 deserve nothing but praise and my gratitude following my father's recent stay on the ward.

Having been admitted for an elective procedure which went well, my father suffered life threatening complications and without doubt the attention and dedication to care on Ward B1 saved his life.

That care extended to myself and my mother also and every effort was made to ensure we were looked after while my father was being stabilised, and we were allowed time to spend with him outside of visiting hours which was a great comfort for all of us.

No doubt the best thing was taking home my father happy and healthy...the outcome could have been so very very different without the amazing people on B1. Staff were even calling on days off to check his progress which really shows how much those wonderful staff actually care about their patients. All too often these days people moan and complain about the NHS, its about time we saw more positive reviews too. I know how hard I worked to make sure patients were well looked after when I was nursing and they received the best possible care..Ward B1 is full of staff who go that extra mile to ensure their patients are listened too, looked after, respected, treated with dognity and receive the best care. Thank youB1. You're amazing!

A special thank you also to the HDU Outreach and Cardiology teams.
