I am proud to be a part of it . . .

• "I’m on my 6^th shift – fresh faced and new to the job.  I absolutely love working on the wards and feel honoured to take my place next to such highly qualified and motivated colleagues.  Thanks to the NHS I now have a career and the opportunity to provide a future for my 10 year old son." Natasha

 

• "I am a student nurse on SAU.  This is my first placement at Derriford.  I have had an exceptional welcome and friendly approach from all staff. I have gained many new skills guided by the staff in the SAU.  I have very much enjoyed my time on SAU and would hope to work here in the future.  Many thanks to everyone on SAU. " TS

 

• "I have never worked in an organisation before with so many dedicated and professional people who are so passionate about what they do.  It’s a real privilege." 

 

• "The NHS is a wonderful service provided for the people of the UK.  It is the envy of many countries and too often is criticised for not being good enough.  Derriford Hospital has a wealth of dedicated, caring and skilled professionals trying to deliver the best care they can with the resources they have.  I am proud to be a part of it."

 

• "My partner works as a staff nurse here at Derriford, she works extra ordinary hard starting at 7.15 a.m. and many times finishing after a 14 -16 hour shifts to be back the following morning.  Been consistent in a highly stressful job as many ups and downs.  Its not just patients that feel the pains.  To me, she does an amazing job on her ward and gives 110% day in and day out and this is extra ordinary."

 

• "I ♥ the NHS, and I ♥ Derriford!"
