The best care and advice

Posted By chr25

"The best care and advice"

About: Forth Valley Community Services / Sexual Health

(as a service user),

My partner was diagnosed with chronic Heb B, she was very distressed that I may have contracted it. I called the STD clinic at Forth Valley Community Hospital who got me in right away for a blood test.

Following my negative result I was given the vaccine the next day. The speed and level of care that I received was amazing and so was the nurse that has dealt with me all the way through, I only know her as Claire.

She was extremely sensitive, attentive and gave the best care and advice.
