I am waiting for bowel cancer surgery and have had various appointments with colorectal nurses and anaesthetics nurses. I can’t name them all but colorectal nurse Michelle at ARI and Jill at Ward 16 Woodend Hospital have been so lovely and caring at a time when you are very anxious. Couldn’t praise them highly enough.

We pride ourselves here within the Pre-Operative Assessment Clinic in providing a patient centered aproach and helping to reassure patients, and I am very pleased to hear that this was the case during your appointment.
May I take this opportunity to wish you all the best in your surgical journey.
