what makes the care at Burrswood unique?

Welcome to Burrswood, a Christian hospital and place of healing.

"Burrswood is a truly unique place, keeping its promise to care for the whole person in a way which cannot be described in words - it has to be experienced for the profound impact of that promise to be realised.  So often illness is seen as a problem and then you, the patient, become the problem; a broken machine that needs repairing rather than a human being needing to be listened to and reassured; not only a body, but a mind and spirit too." 
Quote from a patient August 2011.
