I'M not a patient at Whiston Hospital, however, I have provided a weekly outreach at St Helens Hospital for the past couple of years on behalf of Citizens Advice.

I would like to give special mention to the Macmillan Cancer Support Unit and the Allen Day Unit.

Macmillan provide an amazing service to cancer patients, offering advice and financial support. Julie Parr and Peter Smith are incredible to work with.

I am currently based on the Allen Day Unit and the professionalism and friendliness of the staff is inspiring.

They go the extra mile to make patients feel welcome and to ensure cleanliness on the unit. They are a credit to the hospital, town and the NHS.
