"Excellent care from the team"

About: NHS Lothian / South East Scotland Breast Screening Centre

(as the patient),

Excellent care from the team at Ardmillan House

I was referred for further assessment after my first mammogram. I was shocked and extremely stressed fearing the worst, but I was welcomed into a calm efficient environment on the day.

The whole process flowed smoothly, and I felt that I was in very safe hands at each stage. I was reassured as soon as encouraging results were available, and this lessened my anxiety (a little). I felt that I was prepared whatever the outcome would be, and I am very grateful to the NHS for this service.

Dear Kayceee,

Thank you for taking the time to share your story. It can be a really stressful and anxious time when you are referred for further examination. I am so pleased you were met with staff who were supportive, understanding and able to reduce your anxiety.

I will pass you story onto the Breast Screening service who will be delighted to know they have made a difference in providing a safe and caring environment.

I wish you all the best,

Mariska
