"An amazing care provider"

About: General Surgery / Colorectal Surgery (Ward 10)

(as a service user),

It’s very well known that the NHS in places is struggling. Underfunded, staff leaving because of the poor conditions and being overworked. Hospitals bursting at the seams.

Yet, people like Jess the staff nurse on ward 10 is just what keeps the NHS alive. She is caring, compassionate, such an amazing care provider. I have never been admitted to hospital before, she has made me feel so comfortable even though I’m 500 miles away from my home, friends and family. She is dealing with patients who are in pain, short tempered and waiting for answers which can’t be provided because of how busy the system is. If their is any employee awards scheme, she deserves some recognition!
