"Care received at Wycombe Hospital Stroke Unit"

About: Wycombe Hospital / Palliative medicine

(as a relative),

My father was admitted to Wycombe Hospital with a suspected stroke.   He turned out to have had a seizure and went into arrest.   He was admitted to the dedicated stroke ward (Ward 8) but due to the severity of his condition it became apparent that he was not going to recover and he received palliative care until he died about a week later.   My family and I cannot speak highly enough of the care shown to my father and us.   Sitting next to the bed of a mostly unresponsive patient gives time to become aware of what is going on around you and we were impressed by the care, kindness and encouragement shown to all the patients (many of whom were elderly, given the nature of the ward) from all the medical staff - doctors, nurses, OTs, physiotherapists, health assistants.   The multi national teams all worked well together for the benefit of their patients

Dear author

Thank you for taking the time to post your comments following the sad passing of your father.

Please accept my sincerest condolences.

It is really heart-warming to learn that your dear father was treated with respect and great dignity at what must have been a very difficult time for you.

I will ensure that your kind words of praise of our staff at the Stroke Unit in Wycombe Hospital are passed on for encouragement and recognition of delivering high standards of compassionate care.

Kind regards
