RAF nursing staff at PDH

[4mastacker]

Hi, I hope you don't mind a retired stacker posting on this forum. This message is especially for the medics at PDH.

I’ve just been visiting my sister-in-law who lives in Peterborough. She was recently admitted as an emergency case to PDH and spent a few days there whilst she underwent a number of tests. She was cared for by mainly RAF nurses working alongside their civilian counterparts. My sister-in-law had only the highest praise for the RAF nurses and doctors – she said their kindness, good humour, bedside manner and appearance put their civilian counterparts in the shade. Her hubby is a retired senior nursing officer so I guess she has some idea of what nursing is about. Anyway, my thanks to those at PDH for the care you gave my sister-in-law, you made her feel very special even though, she says, you were ‘working your butts off’ (her exact words). You are a credit to both your profession and the RAF and created a wonderful lasting impression to a life-long, card-carrying civvy.

My missus works there and I'll pass on the message.

I had a time in there too last year and I second the praise. It was also nice to have someone you can relate to !

However, The RAF has decided to dissestablish many posts there and civilianize them. She was posted to the otherside of the country even though co-located at present. But with a little common sense she's ended up at Marham and can easily commute weekends and the odd day a week.

Bit off thread but a point to note that these excellent people are being moved on without a thought
