I write to express my sincere thanks for the surgical treatment and nursing care given to me at your hospital during and since my recent bowel operation. Every part of the procedure was clearly well organised and conducted in a very professional manner despite difficult circumstances due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Special thanks are due to the successful work undertaken by surgeon Mr Huang and his excellent team. The team always kept me well informed of procedures being adopted and treated me with much kindness. I must also mention your nursing staff who provided superb care after the operation. In fact, all staff deserve considerable praise for making my stay at Stoke Mandeville Hospital both comfortable and memorable.

I would be grateful if you passed on my grateful thanks to your fine colleagues.
