MY husband and I would like to say a big thank you for all the care given to my husband following his stroke on September 4, 2014.

All the staff on the stroke ward at Southampton General Hospital were absolutely amazing for the seven weeks he was there.

Also a big thank you to the stroke physiotherapists who treated him at home every day on his discharge from hospital, and Rebecca from the SALT team, who followed him at home regarding his talking and swallowing difficulties, and Denise Shave who is still visiting him at home from the stroke clinic Victoria House.

A big thank you to everyone, including the district nurses and physios.

CHRISTINE AND MALCOLM BROWN, Southampton.
