I HAVE recently spent a few days at Bishop Auckland Hospital having a hip operation and have nothing but admiration for my treatment and care. The staff at the hospital and in particular ward 18 were professional and exceeded my expectations.

If I need such care again Bishop Hospital tops the list.

From the operation to the aftercare by all the staff I can only say “thank you”. They are the light that shines in the darkness.
