"Patient-centred care is clear to see"

About: Aberdeen Royal Infirmary / Breast Services

(as a service user),

I was referred to Breast clinic by my GP after experiencing some new changes. On arrival I was welcomed by the reception staff as soon as I arrived, lovely cheery ladies. I didn’t wait too long to be called through by Kelsey - she walked me through, orientated me to the area, walked me into the room explaining what was going to happen. Was a very calming lady - reassuring me all the way.

I was seen by Bilal, lovely doctor who had a lovely manner. Dr Idris also came in and explained the further testing and why. Bilal then walked me to the next waiting area for ultrasound scanning. I was offered information leaflets and given the opportunity to ask anything. 

This is where I met Angie - another great lady who gave me so much information about the clinic and what was going to happen. She took me through to the scanning room, with dignity care and respect allowed me time to get changed again, and I lay down for the scan. The scan was performed by Amha and she told me there and then the result. 

Angie and Kelsey really made me feel at ease like a normal person and no different (like you’re not sitting there with your boobs hanging out). Shining stars ladies 🌟 your smile and chat really did help put me at ease. 

Thank you 

And well done Clinic E - your patient centred care is clear to see.

Good afternoon Patient21,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience of our services. I am glad to hear you found the team to be caring, knowledgeable and above all that they take a person centred approach.

It is very rewarding for us to hear how patients have perceived our appointments as we try to take a patient centric approach to everything we do. The team value feedback on their care and I have shared it with them - in particular with those named: the reception team, Kelsey, Bilal, Mr Idris, Maha and Angie.

Many thanks again for your feedback. Take care.

Kind regards,

Nataleigh
