RUH staff caring for my wife excellent

Hospitals across the country are under severe pressure right now. So, two weekends ago, when my 92 year old wife Joan fell downstairs it seemed likely that there’d be a long wait for the ambulance.

A mere 17 minutes after my 999 call 3 paramedics arrived and with remarkable efficiency and care whisked her to A&E.

Thereafter, she got excellent highly professional care by all the staff - doctors, nurses, paramedics, care assistants and porters. All carried out their work with calmness, gentleness and consideration.

I cannot speak too highly of the staff at our Royal United Hospital

and we should all be proud of this wonderful institution we have - the NHS.

So raise three cheers for our NHS and and strive to protect it from corrosive influence.
