"The staff were fantastic"

About: Inverclyde Royal Hospital / Xrays and Scans

(as the patient),

I had been referred by an orthopaedic consultant to have an Ultrasound guided steroid injection to my shoulder . 

I was feeling a little apprehensive due to a friend telling me what a painful experience they had.

The time duĺy arrive & was taken dead on time. From the outset the staff were fantastic, explaining what was happening & asking about holidays etc to distract me 😀

To be honest, I thought, right, that's the local done, now for the Mother load.

Dr, right that's you good to go!

One thing I would suggest & I appreciate everyone is different & might be some technical reasons, but I felt it might have been better to have the injections ready to go, rather than pull the ampoules up in front of me. Could possibly have been done behind me?

Other than that, very happy.

Thank you for taking the time to submit a care opinion and sharing your kind words and wonderful feedback!

I will pass your appreciation and kind words to all the staff to the staff in ultrasound, they will be delighted to receive such lovely feedback and hear you had such a positive experience.

I will also pass your suggestion to the Radiologist for future patient experience.

Thank you again for taking the time to reach out.

Kind Regards

Karen
