Colleagues on Ward 12 at HRI and the Stroke Floor at CRH have been recognised by Healthwatch Kirklees for going above and beyond regarding the end-of-life care they provide their patients.

The feedback had been received from patients’ relatives and both teams were invited to the launch of the Kirklees Dying Well Campaign. 

Stroke Floor Matron, Lisa Wilkinson, and Ward 12 Matron, Chris Lord, said: "All involved were really touched to receive the recognition from Healthwatch. 

"Both areas take pride in the care they give to patients and their loved ones at the end of their lives and are really humbled to receive the acknowledgment.  It is a real testament to the care and dedication both teams provide."
