The care from start to finish was amazing. There were always doctors to ask questions. This is the NHS at its best. We could not fault anything at all and thank you for giving the immediate help and care my husband needed.

My mum was rushed to the trauma centre at St Mary's Hospital and was amazed by the level of care and attention given. All the doctors and nurses were so caring and kind and always had a smile on their faces.
