"Easy and hassle-free"

About: NHS Lothian / South East Scotland Breast Screening Centre

(as the patient),

I was referred to the breast clinic by my GP and, although I was made aware that the waiting time may be up to 18 weeks, I received an appointment within 4 weeks of being referred. When I attended the outpatient clinic today, I was really impressed by the efficiency of the service. The staff were all friendly and professional, they listened and treated me as a person and not simply another patient. Receiving all of the scans and results in one appointment meant that I received information quickly and without any fuss. I want to thank everyone I came into contact with today for making what could have been a stressful experience an easy and hassle-free one.

Dear Daenerys

Thank you very much for sharing your feedback with us via Care Opinion regarding your appointment at the breast clinic.

I was really pleased to read. that you were able to get an appointment within a few weeks as I can appreciate that this is an anxious time. It was lovely to hear from you how the staff were friendly, professional and being able to get scans and results in the same day.

I have shared your feedback with the clinical team who I am sure will be delighted to read your kind words.

Thank you again for sharing your experiences with us, we really do value it.

With best wishes

Jeannette
