"Fabulous Pain Management Team"

About: Royal Preston Hospital

Had my 3rd visit/procedure at Preston & must say how thrilled I am with the excellent service I've received. I travel 1hr out of area for treatment here due to NHS mistrust issues locally.

From the warm welcome at Reception (& handy directions as 2 areas for this service - a long distance apart!) to the lovely greeting within both Depts - you're greeted like a long lost friend. All staff remain totally professional, kind, compassionate & friendly. They never forget they're dealing with people who are in chronic pain (with all that brings) and are experts at putting "very sore & anxious patients" at ease, who may be about to undergo very uncomfortable procedures. The kettle is always on "post procedure" - a lovely touch!

Parking (esp for blue badge holders) can sometimes mean a queue. I've never queued for longer than 20min even at peak times (i.e. 1:15 visiting time & start of afternoon clinics). However, people are coming/going all time. Just allow plenty of time for parking & it's free for blue badge holders. Great coffee, food & shopping opportunities if you're early with ample seating.

What lovely feedback, thank you so much - it will be very reassuring to patients waiting for new appointments with our Pain Management service.

The team will be touched that you took a moment to post this on NHS Choices.

We will share your comments with the management team who will be delighted to pass on to all our hard working Pain Management staff.
