"Compassion and felt listened to"

About: The Ulster Hospital / Respiratory Hub

(as a service user),

A huge thank you to all the staff at the Respiratory Hub at the Ulster Hospital, especially Dr Toner. I attended following an acute episode, I felt listened to and my fears and concerns were addressed with empathy and understanding. A big thank you.

You made a very frightening and unknown experience more bearable, Dr Toner fully explained everything from investigations to results to me and took time to listen. Sometimes listening to  the patient is forgotten about due to the pressures of the job and resources but you listened. Thank you.

Karyn thank you for your reply. Can you please pass this compliment to Wesley, I hadn't realised that I hadn't mentioned Wesley previously who was an important part of my experience as he listened to me and how I felt. He reassured me and involved me in all decision making with my care, explaining all the results and tests in detail. A huge thank you to Wesley you made a difference. Thanks.
