A member of my family was unexpectedly very unwell and consequently seen by Professor Bittar as an inpatient in Blackpool. The patient journey from admission, care on Citu, ward 39 through to surgery and discharge was well managed and driven by what my relative needed. Aside from the excellent clinical care Professor Bittar, his medical team and the nursing teams provided, what really struck us as a family was the patience, time and compassion shown to us as we tried to make sense of things at one of the most vulnerable times in our family life. This made all the difference to us and helped us trust that our relative was in safe hands. It also helped us to cope with the seriousness of what was happening at that time. We honestly cannot thank Professor Bittar and his colleagues enough for what they have done - which is to give us years of life together as a family - thank you!
