I called the beatson helpline at the end of March. Staff quickly assessed me and advised to attend AOAU.
Jock and his team were fantastic and quickly calmed my nerves. I had all tests done within an hour of being admitted. Having hearing loss makes it very difficult for me to lip read due to masks.
Jock and his team were brilliant and safely lowered their masks to ensure I understood what was happening at all times.
I was then admitted to ward B1 for 2 nights underwent my urgent MRI and chemotherapy. Again I cannot fault the staff in the ward they were brilliant and again accommodating when it came to my hearing loss and masks.
Being a nurse myself and previously worked in the beatson, its a very busy place and challenging during Covid. However the staff were incredible and always took time to listen to me and made my stay much easier.
Everyone including porters, catering staff, cleaners and all staff at MRI were so friendly. Definitely a credit to the NHS.
