(as a service user),

I had a number of sessions with Dr. Dooher recently, as requested via my GP.

I have Type 1 diabetes, CKD, polymyositis, vascular, respiratory conditions and part-amputations on both feet. I go about on a wheelchair, a mobility scooter and crutches.

I felt very supported and cared for. I felt clinically assessed and assisted in a warm professional manner.

I an very glad you felt cared for and supported in a professional manner, this should be everyone's experience within health care.

A person-centered approach is very important and worth while.
