"The staff are doing an excellent job"

About: Royal Alexandra Hospital / Radiology

(as the patient),

I had to attend the CT Department for a scan. Due to the current problems I was unsure if my scan was going to go ahead but I was told it was. I was extremely grateful that I was getting my scan done as my condition had deteriorated.

When I arrived at the Department I was warmly greeted by the lady on the reception desk. Before my scan took place I had to have a cannula inserted as my scan required dye to be put through my body. The man putting the cannula in was friendly and chatty even though they must have been under stress. I was made to feel like an individual and not just another patient. Once inside the scanning room the rest of the staff were also friendly and chatty. Considering the circumstances the staff treated me as an individual and made me feel at ease and comfortable. Everything was explained to me so that I knew exactly what would be happening. The staff in the department are doing an excellent job under difficult circumstances.

Hello Sharon69,

Thank you very much for taking the time to share your kind words with us, it’s much appreciated.

Coming in for a procedure can be a worrying time, so it’s reassuring to hear that you found the staff friendly and that they made you feel at ease during your visit. Our staff always strive to provide person centred care, so I am pleased to read that you felt like an individual and that everything was explained well to you.

I will share your post with all of the staff in the department, I’m sure they will be delighted to receive such lovely feedback. Thank you again for sharing your post with us!

Very best wishes,

Rachel
