Over the last 3 years my father has been taken to QA by ambulance on numerous occassions due to chronic COPD, he was always treated with respect and great care, when sometimes he was quite grumpy due to pain and distress and the medications he was on. In A&E and then MAU the staff were fantastic with him and always included him in any decision making process despite dementia playing a big part in his life. They were always very supportive of me and provided my with answers, tea and a shoulder to cry on. sadly he has now passed away and in a strange way I will miss my late night sessions sat on a hard plastic chair in the department. Thank you to all who cared over the years.
