With all the controversy with hospitals at present, I would like to add that my partner has recently had a hip replacement in the special unit at Epsom.

He could not have praised the whole procedure enough, from the tea lady, doctors, nurses and anaesthetist to the consultant. All were totally on the ball, kind, caring and he could not find a single fault with the whole of his experience.

Let's hear all the good things for a change and boost the morale of our dedicated nurses, doctors, admin staff and others who work so hard to make the difficult system work.
