"Edinburgh Breast Clinic (WGH)"

About: Western General Hospital / Edinburgh Breast Unit (Ward 6)

(as the patient),

When you find a breast lump, as a medic your head and heart go into over drive!! Thinking the what ifs.  But waiting only 2 weeks (aware if would have been quicker if GP thought it needed to be) to be seen at the Breast Clinic and to have a service that includes all that is needed in one stop! The ANP that I saw, amazing! Able to put me at ease even chatted about our Grass!! Being kept informed at all stages and with having mammograms and ultra sound scan and also being only 1.5 hours. And have results discussed on the way. Great service and very friendly staff. In an area of high stress. Well done Edinbugh Breast Clinic !
