About: Royal Alexandra Hospital / Gynaecology (Ward 32) West Scotland Breast Screening Centre

(as the patient),

I recently had both breast and cervical screening carried out and I have to say thank you to the wonderful nurses who were incredibly skilled and professional. For the first time ever, I experienced only very minor discomfort during both procedures.  So thank you to the wonderful nurses who I saw, you’re doing a great job.

Dear NervousNelly.

Thanks you for your lovely feedback on behalf of the gynaecology team.

I appreciate it is an anxious time for some when attending screening so I am delighted to hear of your positive experience and will be pleased to share this with the team.

I hope you have a lovely day.

Kind regards,

Nikki

Thank you so much for your very kind words. I would love to be able to pass this on to the individual staff who carried out your breast screening appointment. It is so important for staff to know that they are doing a good job and making a difference. Would you be happy to contact me with your details at the below email address, so that I can check and pass this on?
