I HAVE recently had a spell in hospital – firstly in Gloucestershire Royal and latterly in the Dilke, Cinderford.

I would like to say, through your columns, that the treatment I received was exceptional and contributed greatly to aiding my recovery, for which I am extremely grateful.

I would like to record my gratitude and appreciation to the dedicated staff of both hospitals – especially the nursing team in the intensive care unit at Gloucestershire Royal.

Also on behalf of my fellow patients who I know are equally appreciative and full of praise and gratitude to the nurses and all the staff on Daffodil ward at the Dilke.

Thank goodness there are such caring and dedicated people living their lives by helping others in their time of need. Many, many thanks.

– Gillian Morgan, Lea.
