Having been hospitalised for a bone infection in my foot in November, I wish to thank all who took such good care of me, starting with my doctor at Irnham Lodge Surgery in Minehead, the entire podiatry team and the surgical team and anaesthetist at Musgrove Park Hospital.

They were all competent, experienced and more than helpful, evidenced by the fact that following surgical removal of the affected area of my foot, I began to recover quickly.

My follow-up care was extremely diligent and my experience at Musgrove was nothing but first class. I would like to name everyone, including the numerous nurses who cared for me and the staff who delivered the meals, they too were caring and efficient, but they will know who they are.

I only wish other NHS hospitals in Britain were as fortunate as we are here in this beautiful area of Somerset.
