"All the staff put me at ease"

About: Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh at Little France / Endoscopy

(as the patient),

I had an urgent colonoscopy and endoscopy recently at Edinburgh Royal infirmary. I was petrified but all the staff put me at ease -  Dr Fraser and the two S/nurses Angela and Yvonne.  

I cannot thank them enough for putting me at ease and making this (for want of better words), much easier. They were all so friendly,  understanding and had a good sense of humour.  

Thank you …you are a credit to the NHS, I cannot thank you enough.

The staff in recovery were excellent as well and clearly explained the reports.

Having had these procedures previously, this was by far the best and the staff talked me through everything.

Thank you again.

Dear 'Carowils'

Thank you so much for taking the time to post these lovely comments. All the staff in the department really enjoy receiving feedback and I will make sure these are passed on to them.

I am so pleased your experience was so positive and you are now recovered and took the time to send this to us.

Best wishes

Anita
