May I through your columns convey my grateful thanks to all the staff on the day surgery unit at Dorset County Hospital that were on duty on Saturday, November 2.

I arrived at the unit in a very nervous state about the operation to be done, and from the very moment I walked in the door, I received reassuring and calming information.

The op went well and while recovering the staff could not have been more attentive and kind.

This busy department is run so efficiently but they have not forgot the bedside manner.

A real credit to our county hospital.
