Holidays all round for North West Private nurses

A grateful and recovering cancer patient from North West Private Hospital showed his appreciation ot North West nursing staff recently by offering them all a weekend away at his Caloundra resort following 15 days in hospital.

The patient had life-saving bowel surgery and said that at 43 his cancer was a huge shock and a life-altering diagnosis.

He said he was overwhelmed by the care and support he received from nursing staff at a time he was at his most vulnerable.

North West Nurse Unit Manager Helen Bennett said the nurses were tickled pink with the patient’s generosity and the extent of his gratitude. She said it was a great boost to get positive feedback and thanks for the hard work.
