"Above and beyond "

About: Birchwood Medical Practice

After an accident at work which required stitches, the treatment room at the practice were removing stitches, checking the wound and ‘dressing’ accordingly . It required two visits but , due to a huge work load, the appointment for the second visit would have been quite a way in advance. The health care assistant being aware that this would be very difficult for me due to my work schedule, arranged to start earlier than her contracted hours in order to suit me. The work ethic, professionalism and kind nature of this HCA was second to none and deserves to be recognised. After reading this, they know who they are and I wanted to express my gratitude and thanks for putting yourself out for me and for the great work in getting me back on track. Finally, we are all responsible for documenting problems and bad service but we’re not so quick to document the service which goes above and beyond and the experience I had did just that..

Many thanks again 🙏🏼

Hi Kim - thank you for taking the time to provide a full and thorough review with such lovely feedback for our team member. She did indeed go above and beyond and we are very pleased this was so helpful to you. We certainly value her in our team.

For the benefit of other patients, we must also be clear this specific situation was exceptional - for health and safety reasons it is not usual to see patients when the building is closed.

Thank you once again and we hope we can continue to support you. Your review has had a really positive impact and we appreciate this very much.

Kind regards

Debra Spencer

Practice Manager
