I AM writing to thank and praise the paramedics who came and assisted my husband after a fall on the sand dunes at Studland on Christmas Day and the staff at Poole Hospital when he arrived in the ambulance.

Also, a huge thanks to a gentleman called Alistair, his wife and father walking on the dunes when the accident happened.

Alistair was so helpful and knew exactly what to do. He was staying in Wareham with his family for Christmas and now lives in America and has a football/soccer academy.

Thank you once again to all these people.

I don’t know how I would have coped without them.
