I WOULD like to take this opportunity to say a really big "thank you" to all the lovely caring people who looked after me during my recent stay at Queen's Park Hospital, Blackburn.

I made so many new friends and the care and reassurance I received was second to none.

The nurses were all "angels" on Ward B5 where I stayed and inspired me to pen this letter.

I can honestly say everyone involved in caring for me went out of their way to make my stay there as comfortable as possible and it really has been a life changing experience on my part coping with illness and I've realised just how much we rely on these dedicated and caring doctors and nurses and all involved.

I challenge anybody to find a better hospital and "top class" medical/general staff.
