My father was admitted to resus on the 11 th of January and the care he received was excellent. Dr Crowhurst treated dad and us with the utmost respect and care. Dad was then moved to the stroke unit and after one week sadly passed away due to the severity of his brain haemorrhage. The staff and doctors on this unit were exceptional. Nothing was too much trouble and the care that dad received was consistently of a high standard. We visited dad daily and were with him at the very end. The staff were kind , compassionate, and professional. The staff and doctors on this unit and in A&E do not deserve the bad press that the hospital constantly receives .

I was admitted for a laparoscopic bilateral hernia repair on 9/6/2014. My care was excellent. My surgeons Mr Arulampalam and Mr Bethune were exemplary both in their professional skill base and attitude. The Anaesthetists were caring and listened carefully to concerns. The Elective Care Team was caring and informative. Post op care on Mersea Ward was professional and I witnessed sensitive care administered to other inpatients. The ward was spotlessly clean and the staff were considerate at night providing a quiet environment. I was most impressed by the professionalism on the Nursing station and at staff changeovers. I am most grateful for the care I received at the DGH.
