Exceptional wholistic care at Rockingham Hospital

"Exceptional wholistic care at Rockingham Hospital"

About: Rockingham General Hospital

(as a friend),

A family friend, Ian, received end of life care at Rockingham Hospital until he died peacefully on 7th November 2024.  I am a RN working at a NMHS site and visited and just had to write to you.  The care he and his family received was exceptional; medical, nursing, catering, volunteer and cleaning staff.  The environment is in a lovely setting, the car parking was free and plentiful, and the ward appeared to be very peaceful, although the staff was clearly very busy, they portrayed a professional, sensitive and caring demeanour at all times. 

They provided a place to sleep and meals for the four adult children who wished to stay with their beloved father to the end.  No problem was left unsolved.  It did my heart good to see such compassion alive and well in our health service.  Thank you on behalf of the family
