A WIRRAL hospital has received “outstanding” feedback from its cancer patients.

More than 90% of cancer patients at Wirral University Teaching Hospital (WUTH) are receiving “exceptional care and support”, according to new survey results. 

Over the past year, respondents have rated their experience and the WUTH Local Cancer Patient Experience Survey revealed that 94% of patients rated the support they received as eight or above out of 10.

Patients praised the “empathetic way their diagnoses were communicated, the clarity and accessibility of written information, and the personalised guidance from clinical nurse specialists and cancer care coordinators”.

They also highlighted the hospital’s “commitment to addressing their holistic needs, feeling heard and understood, and being treated with dignity and respect”.

Julie Morrish, a Macmillan Lead Cancer Nurse at WUTH’s cancer services department, said: “We are thrilled with the positive response from our patients.

“Their feedback motivates us to continue delivering exceptional care.

“We are constantly striving to improve the quality of services and care for people affected by cancer, and we can only do this with feedback from people who have been directly affected.”
