"The staff are all very kind and caring"

About: Torrington Hospital

(as a service user),

I want to express my appreciation and support for the care I am receiving at the Torrington Community Hospital and in particular the Day Treatment Unit. I need to have blood tests and give blood every week at the moment for my condition so travelling to and from hospital is an undertaking. Barnstaple is some 40 minutes drive for me and Torrington is my local town so very much more convenient. The staff are all very kind and caring and the hospital has a warm and friendly atmosphere which makes for what could be a stressful event much more relaxing and calming. The Day Treatment Room has a lovely large window providing a view to a little garden which provides a lovely distraction during treatment and I really think this adds to the calm atmosphere of the hospital.

Good morning,

How lovely to hear of your positive experience at Torrington DTU, I will pass your thanks onto the whole team. I am glad that coming to Torrington for you treatment and blood tests is more convenient geographically for you, especially with you visits being weekly. I will also pass on your lovely comment about the little garden, especially that it adds to the calming atmosphere and how much it is appreciated to the hospital manager.

We understand the parking is limited at Torrington hospital as we are limited by the space we have on site, the parking is strictly for patients only which helps to prevent any extra cars taking any spaces available to those using the services here.
