"excellent"

I had a hip replacement operation under the care of my consultant.

I have no hesitation in recommending both them and the hospital.

I was in Spires as a patient for 4 nights and my care was first class. The nursing staff were very professional. The standard of care they gave was truly exceptional and they allayed any fears that I had.

The physiotherapists were excellent in getting me up and exercising prior to discharge.

In fact every member of staff was cheerful and seemed to be very happy to be doing their job - catering staff, porters and domestic staff alike. Nothing was ever too much trouble. This all meant that my stay was made as enjoyable as possible. The hospital should be proud of having such excellent staff critical to the recovery of its patients.
