Auckland Park Hospital, Bishop Auckland

My wife, Christine Elliott, was admitted into the Hamsterley Ward in February 2017. Her care was first class and she was treated like a family member by all of the staff. My son, Matthew, and I were given every assistance we needed. I obviously wouldnt wish to be placed in the position of recommending this hospital, as I do not want anyone to go through the suffering Christine went through before her recent death. However, if anyone has to face such a decision on behalf of a family member, they can be confident that their loved one will be treated with dignity and respect.

We are proud of the service provided at Auckland Park Hospital and pleased to hear that your experience of the care and treatment for your wife was ‘first class’.

Many thanks to all the staff at Auckland Park for your care and professionalism in respect of the ongoing care for my father. The rapid decline in his health has taken us all by surprise but knowing that you are all there to support both my father and us, his family, is very reassuring. Your hard work and dedication is admirable and we cant thank you enough.
