Tricky Coil removal

Posted By earthsp77

"Tricky Coil removal"

About: Dunbar Hospital / Sexual and Reproductive Health service

(as a carer),

I was nervous but desperate to have coil removed for various reasons.  The professionalism of the nurse was admired and appreciated as she recognised her limits when she came across an issue and sought advice from her senior to enable me to receive the care I so needed. 

Kimberley’s understanding and practical skills were outstanding and I felt so appreciative of both nurses involved and will be forever thankful as they could sense the desperation of this requirement for me today.

Dear earthsp77,

Thank you so much for taking the time to write about the experience you had in our service. Im glad that it was a positive outcome for you in the end despite the nervousness you felt at the start. I will pass on your story to our team and Kimberley in particular - it is so valuable for staff to hear feedback.

With best wishes
