Having recently spent a week in Basingstoke hospital, I would like to express my gratitude to the local NHS.
I was taken ill on Sunday evening May 29 and was advised to call an ambulance. A member of the first response team (Jack) arrived within 10 minutes and quickly took initial observations whilst offering re-assurance to myself and family.
The paramedics arrived soon after and were thorough in their examination deciding I would need a hospital visit (the paramedic team were from Reading).
On arrival at Basingstoke Hospital I spent some time in A&E where all staff were kind and reassuring. I was then transferred to AAU before moving to a ward.
I spent a total of eight days in hospital and could not fault any of the staff, nothing was too much trouble. When I say staff, I mean all who worked on the ward including; nurses, housekeeper and those serving food and drinks.
The food was as nutritious as it was tasty.
I therefore would like to thank them all especially those who work on F1.
Thankfully I am now home and recovering.
