About: Airedale General Hospital

just want to give feedback for the Airedale nurses and consultant who looked after me last week.

I had a hysteroscopy in clinic 6. The consultant was amazing, she talked to me at length beforehand and discussed options.

When I actually had the procedure, the kindness she showed and full explanations were amazing. She stopped because of my small cervix and was so gentle and reassuring and I felt and was able to carry on because of her lovely manner.

The nurses in there were also incredible. One was also so reassuring, smiling at me, giving me eye contact and saying how well I was doing. The other was the ideal nurse for me, I asked her to keep chatting and we had full-blown conversations putting the world to rights throughout. I got so engrossed in the conversations I didn't feel the needle of the anaesthetic, they are so clever!

What isn't the most pleasant experience was actually quite fun, I felt like I'd achieved something they were so pleased with me, saying well done, but also you couldn't have 3 more lovely, kind, gentle and fun ladies doing such a procedure.

I have come away saying it was a positive experience, it would be something I could go through again tomorrow because they made it as easy as it could be.

I've not been so well for almost a year and have had a lot of procedures and time in hospital. I can honestly say that every single doctor, nurse and consultant is amazing. The listening that goes on and kindness to each individual, I saw that on the wards especially. Thank you all.

I am so sorry for those people who don't treat you so well and also for those who don't think twice about spreading the virus and putting your lives at risk and making your working days so hard month in month out. I wish others had the care and compassion you have, sorry they don't. Be proud of the difference you make from saving lives to just making peoples day better. You're all amazing!!!
