"care of my father"

About: Colchester General Hospital

I would like to praise highly the staff of Langham ward at Colchester General hospital following the recent end of life care provided for my father. My father was admitted to the ward on 23rd December and received wonderful care from all staff until his passing on 2nd January 2015' I found all the staff extremely caring and compassionate which certainly helped to make his final days more tolerable and more bearable for the family. We all felt there was always someone there for all of us. I would like make special mention of the sister and the nurse who both went above and beyond the call of duty to provide exceptional care, With all the bad press Colchester hospital gets the critics are obviously not experiencing the care provided first hand. Well done and Thank You to you all
