“I decided I would like to be supported by the home birth team after a traumatic labour with my first. I also want to add the lotus team have been incredible at supporting me throughout my 2nd pregnancy and post natal period. I didn’t realise there was so much support out there for women like me who are struggling with trauma. To my midwives Vicki and Karen, i will forever be grateful for the support you gave me in my labour. I will never forget how you believed in me even when i didn’t think i could do it. Without you cheering me on I wouldn’t have had such a positive birth experience this time round. The idea of giving birth again and it actually being a positive experience was like telling me i was going to run the London marathon and win it … it felt impossible. But i did it! What the Juniper team did i just cannot put into words, this birth experience truly has healed me and I will never forget all the Juniper midwives who carried me through during my labour and postnataly.

“To all the amazing staff on Loddon ward & frailty team. Thank you so much for all the support you gave us and our dad during his last days. We will be forever grateful for your compassion and kindness, allowing us to say goodbye to our dad in a dignified and loving way.”

“I just wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone involved in my child's care during his tonsillectomy; from the surgeons and team in theatre, recovery team, anaesthetists, staff who bought the food to the wards, the play team, and nurses and healthcare staff on the ward. In particular, thank you to Kelly and Vicki on the ward who were very involved with him and were extremely patient and understanding of his needs and sensory issues. Also a massive thank you to the play team who were fabulous helping calm him down and cheer him up with some toys and a prize. Everyone was absolutely amazing from their care to communication, offering choices in their patient's care, and looking after both parents and children! For a child who finds new situations, places, and people very stressful, he was so settled and happy during his stay. Thank you!”

“When being seen to my bed before surgery, Evie the HCA was so chatty and kind. Although our interaction was very brief, she really put my nerves as ease instantly. My anesthetist was also very calm and patient particularly after a difficult cannulation and went above and beyond to make this a smooth process for me. When returning to recovery, as expected, I was very confused and felt vulnerable but Hannah, who was coordinating the unit that day took the time to come and see me and explained fully what had been happening, what was happening next, and just took the time to check in for a chat- it was invaluable when you feel that way. Even with the pressures the NHS is facing, the recovery ward was calm, quiet and so very attentive. Hannah really did run the unit seamlessly and I couldn’t be more grateful.”

"My dad was admitted to hospital on Christmas Day 2025. The staff from A&E to when he was admitted to Guist ward were nothing but respectful, they made a difficult time just that little bit easier. I will forever be grateful for that. When my dad was diagnosed as end of life the palliative team were brilliant explaining next steps to us and what the stage was and got everything in place so I could bring my dad home to be with his family in his last days. I will always be thankful to the hospital for the kindness and compassion you showed my dad and my family. If my dad was here now he would want to say thank you, so thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

We had incredible care throughout our whole time at the N&N. From when we entered we were seen to assess how far along we were, when slight colouration was found in waters, our options were clearly laid out to us and we truly felt in control and heard while feeling informed. Once we moved to the MLBU the midwife and student on staff did a fantastic job, not just at the technical care but being so personable and helping to make what was such an unknown experience be such a positive one, treating me with such dignity and care. My beautiful baby boy was born at a shift change, but I hardly noticed such was the dedication and professionalism of your staff. The midwife who took over our care that morning was simply incredible. I don’t think you could receive better care anywhere. She was extremely knowledgeable, extremely caring and put us instantly at ease on what was the biggest moment of change in our lives.

“It was a bit of a surprise to find myself admitted last week, with pneumonia and a chest drain - I only thought I was having a chest X-ray! I am almost 55 and haven’t spent a night in hospital since I was a baby. Thank you all so much for being so lovely and looking after me so well. From porters and catering staff to nurses, HCAs and doctors. I can’t thank you enough for the amazing care I received on Intwood for a week.”

Very Kind Regards, Abby.”

Text reads: “Would just like to again pass on my thanks and gratitude to the outstanding care you provided to my partner. The reassurance you gave to me when we didn't know what was going on at such a scary time. Special shout out to 'A' staff nurse was very caring + attentive, kept our spirits up when it was needed the most + also very grateful to continue looking after him when in Gissing HDU. You are simply the best. Many thanks again.”

Text reads: “I just want to send a positive message and a thank you to every staff member that my dad has come across during his stay. I cannot fault the atmosphere, attentiveness, comfort and care that he is receiving. Every staff member I have come across is kind and caring and takes time to speak to and say hello to all the patients. A massive well done to all. At a worrying time for us as a family we are rest assured that he is being well cared for.”

“I have received exceptional care from many members of the medical teams within ‘Urology One Stop’ and the ‘Arthur South Day Procedure Unit. Within days of being referred I had consultations with surgeons, doctors and various nurses and received extremely thorough examinations. Everything was explained very clearly to me at all stages and I find it difficult to believe that the procedures could have been done in a more comprehensive and efficient manner. Within just a few days I received dates for 2 appointments at the Arthur South Day Procedure Unit at the N&N. The first appointment was less than 4 weeks for a Pre-Op and just 4 days later for an operation. I also had an appointment for a CT scan prior to the operation. Throughout I cannot express my gratitude enough for the EXCEPTIONAL and quick care and treatment that I have received.

“I just wanted to reach out to thank all the staff involved with my hospital visits last week. I was referred to the TIA clinic by my GP the week before, and the staff couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful. I didn’t feel rushed, and I felt the care and support was second to none by the nurses, reception staff and doctors in this area. I also want to thank whoever managed to co-ordinate me having 3 important scans all in one morning, just two days after attending the clinic initially, because that was particularly impressive! I was very grateful for the speed and precision with the appointments and cannot fault the care and efficiency of everyone involved. Thank you so much!”

“I arrived to the CCU, nurses who provided the most caring and thoughtful care for me during my stay was nothing short of exemplary!! My wife and I (and my dog Vinnie Bones - you may remember me showing pictures of my big blue staffy whilst I was there) cannot thank you enough. In addition, I have to say that the standard of cleanliness in my room, and all the facilities which I visited during my stay, were excellent, to the extent that I was walking around my room and the adjacent corridor in bare feet, and when my wife told me to put some shoes or slippers on, she and I could not believe that my feet were as clean as when I had stepped out of the shower! In summary, I have to say that everyone from the hospital staff that I came into contact with were nothing short of amazing! Thanks you all.”
