In September last year my mother who was in her final stages of MND, booked in to take advantage of VAD (volunteered assisted dying), unfortunately before her booked date she developed a UTI and was admitted to POWH CAU Unit, the staff of the CAU where fantastic and extremely caring, nothing was too hard or annoying for the Nurses and the various teams (Neurology, Palliative care, VAD Team & Nursing staff), as a nurse myself I found great attention and care given to my mother throughout the 10 days we were there, even getting visits from the senior leadership team including the NUM just checking in and making sure our whole family was getting looked after, sadly my mother became too sick to consent to VAD and died a few days later surrounded my friends and family, this was an extremely difficult time for my family and the staff should be extremely proud to know they made a lasting impression on us, thank you really doesn't cut it but they honestly deserve all the thanks and praise!
