"She had really made me feel at ease"

About: University Hospital Monklands / Dermatology University Hospital Monklands / Ear, Nose & Throat (Ward 9)

(as the patient),

I have recently attended Monklands hospital as I had Basal Cell Carcinoma in my outer ear and on my shoulder.

I had the mole removed on my shoulder very quickly at the dermatology clinic within 2 weeks of being seen.

I was then referred to ENT and Miss Yaneza. She fully explained what the operation entailed and what would happen during the operation/afterwards. She was very nice and supportive and advised me to go away and think about the operation as it would be done under local anethestic and it would not be Mohs surgery as this is not carried out at Monklands. I went back a week later and gave consent for the operation as she had really made me feel at ease

I was operated within 2 weeks. All nurses and doctors were fantastic. The waiting and theatre facilities were as good as any private hospital - spotless and well equipped. I would highly recommend Miss Yaneza and Monklands hospital.

Dear Patienthappy

Thank you so much for taking the time to tell us about your experience in both Dermatology and ENT. This must have been a very worrying time for you and I am glad that you were treated quickly and have now had your mole removed and your surgery with Ms Yaneza.

Ms Yaneza and the Day Surgery nursing team will be pleased to receive such lovely feedback and I will make sure this is passed on to them and also to the Dermatology out patient nursing team.

With best wishes for your ongoing recovery.

Lynn McTavish
