We can’t express enough how much the care, compassion and commitment of the staff on Ward 49 meant to us. We came to the ward as strangers and spent a lot of time there as our relative was palliative. The staff were so caring and supportive and made a very difficult time easier to bear. We left feeling like we were saying goodbye to friends. Thank you to all, you’re special people.
Location of ward
Ward 49 is in Leazes Wing at the RVI.
