"Responsive team & great staff skills"

About: Community Services / Winchester City District Nursing

(as a staff member posting for a patient/service user),

I didn’t want the home to call, but when Claire came she was so nice I couldn’t tell her to leave, so Claire's approach meant I got my wound well looked after.

I was shocked as Claire told me she would order some bits, and based on previous experience of healthcare staff, didn't think they would arrive but they did.

I have previously faced a lot of judgement and people unable to understand my communication needs and am delighted that going forward I feel able to approach, ask and accept help, this is a big step for me.

Please thank Claire and your team for their responsiveness.

I am the consultant for the Mid Hampshire Urgent Community Response service. Looking after individuals at home instead of hospital when it is safe to do so.

Thank you so much for taking the time to tell us about the treatment you experienced with the district nursing team.

Im so sorry to hear that you have experienced judgment and inconsistency in the past. But how wonderful to now see that Claire has been instrumental in returning you faith and providing you with equipment.

I will make sure that Claire knows how much this meant to you.

Many Thanks

Abigail Barkham
