"All this would not have progressed so well without her"

I am writing to praise a member of staff, namely Lianne, lead clinician, Extended Scope Physio/Orthopedic Interface Service at the Holsworthy Hospital.

I have had a very long issue concerning my lower back which was diagnosed over 10 years ago, the condition has been getting progressively worst over time.

Having accessed numerous types of treatment over this time including, Osteopathy, Chiropractors, many drugs, intense physiotherapy and stays at facilities open to me through my precious employment as a Fire fighter. This included many hours and stays at specialist facilities they provided all to no avail.

I was referred eventually by my GP to the RDE at Exeter, after awaiting many months to be seen I was offered a consultation at the Holsworthy interface team and seen by Lianne, this is where the care I have received is exemplary.

I was seen very quickly by Lianne, she was understanding, empathetic, and most of all she understood!

Consequently I was referred an MRI, then a Caudal Epidural, all very quickly. This unfortunately was only beneficial for a short period, I have now been referred for surgery.

All this would not have progressed so well without Lianne, she made me feel comfortable within her care, always contacted when she said she would and returned my inquiries promptly.

Thank you Lianne for everything.
