"The staff all made me feel at ease"

About: Alexandra Hospital / Urology

(as a service user),

I had an appointment on Sunday in January at an urology clinic ( under Dr Kodera) that had been set up to try to clear the backlog of patients waiting for their original appointments. As a heavy snowfall had descended in the region overnight I was unsure if I was going to be seen or if the staff were going to be able to get in to the hospital? 

The service I got from all the team was fantastic from welcoming me into the clinic and giving me a welcome hot drink to discussing what was going to be happening to me while I was there ,

Everything was explained in detail and the staff all made me feel at ease . 

Once all the tests had been done the results were only a short wait and then the specialist nurse LAURA ( sorry didn’t get her surname ) called me to have a discussion regarding the results . From the outset Laura was so professional , helpful and understanding she made me feel so comfortable, that we discussed everything from results to prevention to ongoing treatment, and after a few thorough examinations ( with a chaperone) 

Laura concluded the appointment as she had started it very professionally and informative .

I can’t speak highly enough of the experience I had at the clinic from all the team that were there that day , and with  so many  negative views regarding the NHS I for one would like to thank them and ask this gets passed on to the relevant people involved . Thanks

Good evening

thank you very much for taking the time to send this positive feedback to us. I will ensure that the relevant Matron for urology receives this and I am sure she will pass this on to 'Laura'.

Given the current daily ongoing pressures within the NHS it is always rewarding to receive feedback like this which demonstrates an excellent patient experience from your perspective.

Thank you again and best wishes
