Amazing staff and hospital

Story from nhs.uk

"Amazing staff and hospital"

About: Dorset County Hospital / Accident and emergency

I was admitted into the hospital via a 999 ambulance whilst on holiday in Weymouth. I received immediate and caring treatment on arrival. I have terminal cancer and due to the nature of my symptoms my family were contacted and advised to travel from Berkshire asap. I was then admitted to Illchester Ward into a side room, where my family where allowed to stay with me as I wasn't expected to live. Due to the amazing care and treatment I was stabilised enough to be transferred to my own Oncology hospital in Oxford. Myself and my family are amazed and so grateful for the treatment and care shown to us all. All staff were dedicated and extremely caring at all times. I can't praise this hospital highly enough.

Dear Peter,

Thank you from all of us at DCH for taking the time to post such wonderful and positive comments here on Care Opinion.

I am so pleased to hear that the care you were given was of the high standard that we always aim for, and that the care given enabled you to be transferred back to your own hospital. I will make sure that your kind words are passed on to all involved in your care, who I know will be very happy indeed to hear your comments.

On behalf of all of us at DCH, I want to say thank you again, and wish you peace and contentment throughout your ongoing treatment.

With very best wishes,

Becky Protopsaltis
