"Amazing Health Visitor"

About: Forth Valley Community Services / Health visiting

(as a service user),

Joanna at Kersibank has been absolutely amazing since the birth of our second baby. She’s always able to answer all our questions, even if that means she’s having to do further research and get back to us which is always appreciated. In addition to this, she’s incredibly easy to get a hold of, which is a rarity in healthcare these days. I recently messaged to her just before five pm expecting not to get a reply until the morning about my son's umbilical stump which wasn’t looking very good, to my surprise she managed to get back to me, set up an emergency GP call right away and we ended up in the children’s ward with the wee one needing IV antibiotics. I can’t thank Joanna enough for how quick she was at setting everything up for us, especially since it was almost out of office hours, she has been amazing!

Dear Pleasantpatient

It is so lovely to hear that you find your Health Visitor amazing! I will share your kind words with Joanna I am sure she will be delighted. I am sorry you have had such a difficult time with your son's umbilical cord but glad Joanna managed to respond and get you the support you needed promptly. I hope things go more smoothly for you all from now on.

Kind regards
