Her knowledge is second to none

Posted By Doreen345

"Her knowledge is second to none"

About: Adult Health And Social Care Services / Dietetics and Nutrition University Hospital Monklands / Renal (Ward 1)

(as the patient),

I saw Jan as part of my renal care. She spent ages with me going over what I eat and when. She suggested a couple of small tweaks to my diet and said she would send me some booklets to read. These arrived a few days later.

Jan also gave me her number and said to call her any time I needed her advice.

I had to call Jan for advice and she was amazing and answered my question straight away.

Jan has been a godsend as part of my renal support at Monklands. Not only has she made me feel confident in what I was already doing, she gave great advice to further support my renal care. I have huge confidence in her. Her gentle approach is prefect, and her knowledge second to none.

She compliments Dr Cousland so well.

Dear Doreen345

Thank you for taking the time to post on Care opinion. I am so pleased that you have had such a positive experience with the Renal dietitian. I know Jan and I also know she has a wealth of knowledge at her fingertips. I will ensure your thanks are passed over to her. I will also pass this on to Dr Cousland.
