Malcolm Tunnicliff, clinical director of the emergency department, said the Duchess of Cambridge’s visit was a boost to the staff who had seen so much.

“We prepare for incidents like this 24 hours a day, but it’s really nice when someone like the Duchess of Cambridge comes in and sees what we do firsthand and says thanks,” he said, according to the Daily Mail. “It gives the patients a lift, it gives the staff a lift that they are being recognized.”

Seven of the 14 patients admitted to the hospital are still receiving round-the-clock care. Middleton alse met with some discharged patients who came back to the hospital for her visit.
