"We will never forget & be forever grateful"

Our Dad had been suffering from kidney cancer with metastatic spread for 4 years and kept very well.  However, in December he became very unwell and was admitted to Ward 12 in Hairmyres Hospital.  The nursing care he received in the month he was there was outstanding.  On Sunday in early  March he was readmitted to Hairmyres and was transferred back to Ward 12 which all of us, particularly our Dad, were delighted about.  Unfortunately his condition quickly deteriorated and he sadly passed away, in the ward.

We are absolutely devastated but take a great deal of comfort in the outstanding care my dad, and we, received from all the staff.  Every single member of the nursing and support staff were wonderful and couldn’t have done more for us.  We would, however, like to acknowledge, and thank, the members of staff who were directly involved with our Dads care.  Fiona, the Deputy Charge Nurse.  Staff Nurses Colette, Nicole, Laura, Chris and Isobel.  Health Care Assistants Geri, Karen and Ann and bank HCA Ellen, and Nancy the tea lady, all provided an exceptional level of care and support that we will never forget and will be forever grateful for.
