Review of Poole nhs Foundation Trust

Once again the care and compassion I have recently...

Once again the care and compassion I have recently received at Poole hospital has been exceptional. As an allied health professional myself, I am only too aware of the many challenges NHS staff face but that doesn't stop the hospital staff from being kind and thoughtful and giving the best care they possibly can. I hope this message is passed on for I would like to personally thank the staff in the scanning suite ( especially Brett who was lovely), the specialist surgeon Miss Innema, the compassionate theatre staff and everyone on B2 ward who looked after me overnight. Special thanks also to Jaquie and Mel specialist nurses who were calm and reassuring throughout, and happy to chat with me at home.
I have been unfortunate in that I have had significant health issues for some years on and off, all of them requiring life saving intervention - Poole hospital has always looked after, reassured and cared for me and I am forever grateful. I will remain a patient with them for the rest of my life, but have faith and confidence that I will be safe in their hands.
The NHS is treated very shabbily by the Government, is underfunded and undervalued - but despite this Poole hospital staff are a shining example of care, kindness, expertise and professionalism. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
