GWH launches 'Letters from Home' scheme for families to send letters to their hospitalised loved ones

Great Western Hospital has launched a 'Letters from Home' scheme so families can send letters to loved ones spending time in hospital during this crisis.

A Great Western Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust spokeswoman said: "We are launching a 'Letters from Home' scheme for families to send letters to their loved one spending time in hospital.

"We have had to restrict visitors during this difficult time, and being apart from family can be hard. We hope that a letter from family and friends will help to make our patients' experience that bit better."



If you have a loved one in hospital and want to send them a letter, please email [email protected]t with your words. You can also attach a photograph.

If you would prefer, please post your letter to: Trust HQ, Great Western Hospital, Marlborough Road, SN3 6BB.

You must include the patient's full name, date of birth and the ward they are on - this will help GWH to make sure every letter gets to your loved ones. Letters will be distributed to patients at 2pm every day.
