"Caring, calming and reassuring approach"

About: Forth Valley Royal Hospital / Endoscopy and day care

(as a service user),

I attended the Endoscopy Unit at Forth Valley Royal Hospital earlier this week and understandably was feeling very apprehensive about the procedure.  I would like to thank the team for their very caring, calming and reassuring approach which made a rather unpleasant experience more bearable.  Being told exactly what was happening throughout the procedure made me much more at ease as did the relaxing tones of named nurse, Rachel!  A huge thank you to the' hand-holding nurse' too and of course, Julie as well as the other team members in the room who all conducted themselves professionally but with some humour to help distract and support me throughout. Many could learn a lot from your approach - thank you!

Dear Mollymoomoo.

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. It is really appreciated.

I am pleased to hear you had such a positive experience and felt supported and reassured throughout.Staff work hard to maintain a high standard of care and compassion and it is lovely to know that they made things easier for you during you recent visit.

I will be delighted to share your feedback with Rachel and the team.

Best wishes

Pauline
