Palliative care team was outstanding

Posted By Opinion1

"Palliative care team was outstanding"

About: Weston Park Hospital

(as a relative),

I would like to formally feedback the excellent care my mother-in-law received in her last few days of her cancer journey towards the end of October .

Dr Moona from the palliative care team was outstanding in the way she presented all the options in a fair and balanced way that promoted patient dignity, autonomy and safety.

Dr Salma was so good at explaining everything to the family and made us feel like she really knew us all remembering tiny details about our lives and activities.

Jo the breast cancer CNS was exceptionally and knew Anne from the very beginning of her journey and we were all touched when she came to visit on the ward. Jo the palliative care nurse was also exceptional in looking after the whole family at such a critical and emotional time knowing the right things to say at the right times.

A massive thank you to the ward 2 staff especially Nurse Priscilla, Sister Amanda, nurses Georgina, Shincy and Aissata.

We are so grateful for the endless supply of tea and biscuits delivered with by a friendly face from the amazing catering ladies, just what we needed at such a difficult time.
