My elderly aunt was taken into hospital following an assessment by the ambulance service at home. She was initially taken to St James's where she was cared for by the staff in the resus ward. Following this, she was transferred to the ICU at the LGI.
The care that she received during her final hours by the doctors and nurses was faultless. Everyone was extremely caring, sensitive and kind to her (and us) and we were so fortunate that she was kept out of pain.
All of the staff took the time to explain things to us and answer our endless questions. They looked after us to by offering us drinks and allowing us to stay on the ward long beyond the visiting hours so that we could be with our aunt during her final moments.
