"Outstanding Hospital"

Our Dad was treated in ward 4 of the hospital and I can honestly say we were all comforted that this was where he eventually passed away peacefully on 12th July After experiencing two hospitals in Newcastle we could not have wished for a better place than Hexham general. We asked many times during the ten weeks previous to him being transferred that he could go to Hexham and the difference in the standard of care was, in our eyes, immense He was treated with the utmost of care and dignity as were we as a family. The consultant treating Dad was so kind and caring towards him as were all the nurses and indeed all members of staff. There seems to be a personal touch at Hexham which is sadly lacking at other hospitals. Whoever is in charge should be very proud of the workforce at the hospital, nothing was to much for them. I really cannot put into words how grateful we are.
