I WISH to thank the stroke team and the X-ray department for their care during my brief stay last week. I am convinced my recovery would not have been as fast without the high quality of their treatment.

Two aspects in particular were exceptional: teamwork and the approach to patients. Every member of staff has the same objective, the quickest return to the best possible health for every patient.

The second feature is the approach to individual patients. Planned treatments and expected outcomes were clearly explained without being patronising. Taken together this is exceptional in large organisations. If you could bottle it you could make a fortune selling it to similar operations.

All Warringtonians deserve to know what a gem of a hospital they have.
