What are we sharing this month?

It's been another great month filled with special moments for patients, families, and staff at Milton Keynes University Hospital (MKUH), and it's all thanks to you.

A little 'thank you' goes a long way |
|
|
|
Since we launched 'My Thank You', we've received so many lovely messages of gratitude for #TeamMKUH staff - not just for those on the frontline, but those working behind the scenes, too.
The messages are a pleasure to read and share with our colleagues. |
|
|
We've picked out a couple...
"Dear Natasha, I want to express my profound gratitude for your selfless actions today as you put your lunch aside and walked me all the way to my destination. I say a very big thank you to you." [Antenatal] "I can't single out one member of staff. The whole team from the cleaners, kitchen staff, HCA, nurses and doctors work incredibly hard with a huge amount of patience and empathy for patients and family members in ward 7." [Ward 7]
