Bowel Cancer care

About: Victoria Hospital / Colorectal Unit Victoria Hospital / Day Intervention Unit Victoria Hospital / Pre-assessment Victoria Hospital / SEAL (Surgical Elective Admission Lounge)

(as a relative),

My father was seen in the pre-assessment department prior to his bowel operation recently. SCN Jackie was wonderful. She went above and beyond to make him feel at ease.

Thanks to the colorectal team who have given excellent care all along the way. The two Wendy's and Jayne are outstanding. 

A special thanks to Mr Yalamarthi who was the surgeon. I appreciate the input from everyone on the team; radiologists, Dr Clive from oncology, the nurses on ward 52, the SEAL unit, the  nurse endoscopist,, the anaesthetic and theatre team and everyone who works hard in the background making such good care possible.

My father in law was also under the care of the same team not so long ago. Mr Proctor was the surgeon. Mr Proctor and the whole team were superb. Special thanks again to the pre-assessment team at that time - Kathryn, Caroline and Jackie.

Thank you NHS Fife
