"Doing a good job: well"

Unfortunately I have had to use the services of a number of departments at the hospital.

In the face of negative results from tests, dogged persistence by the doctors resulted in finding a pituitary tumour, which probably saved my sight.

(At the time the hospital was receiving bad press; I was 'enjoying' excellence that was diametrically opposite to the negative reports in the column I was reading.)

Casualty patients are dealt with professionally - there are delays but we know that there will be ebb and flow as patients turn up at random.

The fracture clinic deals in a professional friendly manor to treat and reassure,

Plaster clinic staff are king supportive and helpful.

X-ray staff are so helpful and accommodating, always willing to explain/inform.

My son is receiving excellent care from the extremely friendly, competent staff in the orthodontists.

All the reception staff I have dealt with are very helpful.

Urology tomorrow! I will let you know, 16 years ago I found that there was a tangible negative atmosphere in the hospital.

Most staff were working hard but seemingly under duress; cleanliness was dire in places.

Great turnaround Maidstone. Well done.
