Ward 8 a at CRH  this week has received some terrific feedback from a hip- replacement patient who scored them 10 out of 10.

He calls them "a credit to the NHS" and includes "I have never seen such an upbeat team".

Sister Linda Denham said their success was down to be a 'really, really good team'. She said: "We're always thought of as being a mad bunch..... always doing our very best for our patients. They come first.

"We all work together with physios, occupational therapists, advanced nurse practitioners and all the nurses. We are a really, really good team."

Here's what came in to the CHFT inbox:

I have recently been discharged from the Calderdale Hospital at Halifax after surgery for a total hip replacement.

I would just like to say that the service I received was exemplary, from first seeing my Consultant Mr Brooke, through to admission the procedure and finally my short stay on Ward 8A.

All the staff I came into contact with were kind, understanding and courteous throughout.

I have never seen such an upbeat team than the Staff on Ward 8A they are a credit to the National health service and made my short stay as pleasurable as it could possibly have been.

A great big 10 out of 10 to you, my family and I will be eternally grateful to you all. Kind Regards
