On August 18 I had an X-ray at Poole hospital. I was admitted to Ward 3B immediately as I had broken my hip.

I had a hip replacement operation the following day, and was discharged two days later.

Being extremely nervous, I was given confidence, patience and understanding by all the staff.

I was also impressed by the cleanliness of the hospital and the good food.

Poole hospital from admittance to discharge were fantastic.
