"Amazing supportive staff and great end of life..."

About: Royal Cornwall Hospital (Treliske) / Emergency Department

My mother in law sadly passed after a 9 day fight . During this time the Dr overseeing her care was honest ,caring and supportive. They always took the time with my mother in law and the family . We were kept informed and felt included with desicions and her end of life care. The staff on medical admissions from nurses , to health care workers and food staff were outstanding. The compassion and support helped the whole family through a very distressing time and she passed with dignity . The only concern I would rise is that bed moving should not happen during end of life care whenever possible but thanks to the Dr this was stopped as the idea of her passing during the move in a corridor would have been very distressing. The staff were clearly under staffed at times but this never effected the level of care , cleanliness or support provided.
