"They were always friendly, reassuring and kind"

About: Western General Hospital / Radiotherapy

(as the patient),

I just want to say what excellent support I received over my last month’s radiotherapy treatment for prostate cancer from the radiography team at the Western.

They were always friendly, reassuring and kind throughout my 20 days of outpatient treatment; always running within a few minutes of the appointed schedule, and always ready to take time to explain the procedures and what to expect as the treatment progressed.  They seemed genuinely interested in their patients and happy in their work; great to see across the whole team.

Many thanks to you all; very much appreciated
