When either we or a member of our family requires medical care it is often a very worrying time and, more often than not, we’re required to put our entire trust in our GP and/or the staff of our local hospital.

Once health has been restored, many of us forget that medical staff work long hours and under a great deal of pressure and so a letter of thanks will be received very favourably and it shows your appreciation and gratitude for the excellent way in which the medical team and/or your GP cared for you or your loved one. Not only that, it is also an endorsement that you feel confident about the expertise and service that you received from your care provider.

In many situations, you or your loved one will have been restored to full health. However, there are those sad occasions where a loved one may have died, in spite of the tremendous efforts that have been put in by medical staff. Once again, even though this is a sad time, it shows a great level of respect and encouragement if you still write to thank the medical team for their efforts, in spite of your loss. In many cases, they will have become close to your loved one and may be feeling the loss almost as badly as you.

How to Write the Letter

Letters of this nature will be gratefully received whenever you choose to write them. However, if you write sooner rather than later, they often mean more as the staff are more likely to remember you or the patient.

Here is an example of a letter of thanks from a person who was the patient themselves.
