Dr Muir was the contact and He spoke to me at length, re previous medical history which is extensive. I am 90 years old and needed reassurance that I could  and would be be looked after . after asking all the relevant questions, Dr Muir said he needed to study my medical records before deciding how my treatment if required, should be provided. He gave me a choice of treatment and I chose Paxlovid over 5 days.

My son collected them and I started that night. I had accepted any risks and felt confident after all Dr Muirs explanations that I had made the correct choice. Dr Muir phoned me after a few days and was pleased that I was going all the way with no side effects so far.

I am now feeling good again and working in my garden and I wrote him a letter to say how satisfied I am, Well done everyone who played a part in my recovery. Thank you.

Thank you for providing your feedback of our service.

It is very good to hear that you have a smooth journey from referral through to treatment and that following this treatment you are now feeling so much better.

I will pass on your kind comments to all involved in the service on your behalf.
