May 2017 Honoree

Sharon and all the staff on Oncology Day case at Nottingham City Hospital are absolutely amazing and brilliant. My father has to currently visit the ward on a weekly basis due to his illness and we now class the team as part of our family. Nothing is ever too much for Sharon, she is always there with a smile on her face and words of comfort for us and more importantly, for my father; she even went to visit him when he was admitted onto Gervis Pearson ward and sat with him to check he was ok! She has been an absolute rock for my mum and is always there for support when needed and to explain what the treatment plan is going to be, even contacting the oncologist directly on behalf of us when we were not sure what was happening. Again, nothing is too much for her, without Sharon and the team on the ward, my father's experience would be different; they have made this difficult time bearable and have made my father laugh even on his bad days, so for that we are forever grateful.
Thank you, Sharon, for your exceptional compassion, advocacy, and dedication to your patients. You truly make a difference.
