The staff in the colonoscopy department were so kind to me. I was very anxious about this procedure but I was greeted by a lovely nurse called Ashley who escorted me to my cubicle then went through my checklist and observations, she explained everything thoroughly and just had a really nice calming approach to the whole process
I then met Shannon who took put my cannula in and also explained everything as she went really chatty and cheery exactly what I needed
Once in the examination room I met my consultant, Mr Witherspoon who again was nice and reassuring explaining everything that would happen from start to finish. I felt in very safe hands throughout, the playlist in the background really helps you relax, well some of it does!
Then there was Claire the nurse that covered my eyes when I didn’t want to look at the screens and constantly reassured me throughout
Thank you to you all for me the whole procedure was terrifying but your great team made the process a million times easier to navigate .
