"Derriford and Bickleigh, Superb."

About: Derriford Hospital / Cardiology

Following my recent admission to Derriford hospital after a heart attack I was eventually transferred to Bickleigh ward, after spending a couple of nights in The Medical Assesment Unit due to lack of beds. I cannot praise staff highly enough in all departments, from cleaners to consultants, for their care and dedication during my stay. Everybody was attentive and caring and took the time to talk in order to ease the worry during my stay. How these people cope with such long hours and doing what they do is beyond me, they are wonderful people. The prognosis looks good following my treatment and, 2 weeks later I am feeling very well indeed. My sincere thanks to everybody. William Copley.
