AFTER having the privilege of being a patient on Renee Allan's ward -- D3 at Queen's Park Hospital, Blackburn -- what can one say?

All the staff were caring, professional and busy. Yet they had time to smile.

I have known and worked with Renee Allan for the last 30 years. All of us nurses have so much to learn from her.
