IT often seems that only the bad stories get press coverage for the NHS and, therefore, I felt compelled to write about our recent experience following my dad's two total knee replacements.

Firstly we have the best doctors' practice in TG Medical Centre West Kirby where Dr Alam supported my dad until surgery was required.

Following his referral my dad was seen two weeks later by Mr Carrol at Clatterbridge, approximately six weeks later he was admitted into Arrow Park Hospital for bi-lateral knee replacement surgery.

After surgery he was moved to Ward 12 at Arrowe Park Hospital for 12 days and since discharge he has been cared for by the West Kirby district nursing team.

From start to finish throughout all sites, departments and professionals the service and treatment was first class.
