FEEDBACK FROM OUR PATIENTS

“The team were friendly, kind, compassionate and caring. I cannot fault the service I received and would not hesitate to return if needs be.”

“From checking in for knee replacement surgery to being discharged the same day –all the staff were absolutely brilliant. Many thanks.”

Mental Health Awareness Week

For Mental Health Awareness Week many of our staff showed their support by wearing green to work.

International Nurses’ Day

The Trust celebrated International Nurses’ Day by hosting several activities. There was a special themed international menu available in the staff restaurant and Matrons visited wards to hand out ‘thank you’ cards and cakes to our nursing workforce.

Nurse Achiever Awards

As part of International Nurses’ Day celebrations, we held our Nurse Achiever Award. There were four awards categories–The Nightingale Award for Inspirational Nurse Leader; The Ethel Fenwick Team Award for Innovation in Patient Safety; The Virginia Henderson Rising Star Award; and The Mary Seacole Award for Outstanding International Nurse.

International Day of the Midwife

In May we celebrated International Day of the Midwife. As part of celebrations the efforts and hard work of our midwifery colleagues were recognised in an awards ceremony.

New student Choir formed

Earlier this year our first-year student nurses from the University of Chester formed a choir and sang for some of our patients at our Ellesmere Port Hospital.

“I arrived at A&E at 9pm and was out by midnight. Very thorough, polite and professional staff. It was busy, but people were seen relatively quickly.”

Countess Country Park memorial

In May the Friends of Countess of Chester Country Park installed a Tree of Life Memorial Mosaic in the park, in memory of loved ones lost to COVID-19.

The beautiful tribute – which overlooks the Life for a Life Memorial Forest – was handcrafted by Aleta Doran, Artist in Residence at Chester Cathedral, and sponsored by the Chester Art Society.
