"Amazing staff"

About: West Cumberland Hospital

My husband had to have a colonoscopy and we would like to thank the staff for their kindness and friendliness. They put my husband at ease and also myself. Although obviously I couldn’t wait with him the lovely lady at the reception told me where I could wait and get a coffee.

My husband told me that the care and compassion shown to him before, during and after the procedure where second to non. Everything was explained as to what they had found - thankfully nothing serious.

Once my husband had came out and was back on the ward the lovely lady in reception came to find me and tell me he was out and having a coffee. That meant a lot and she definitely went over and above and I was grateful and thankful to know that the procedure was over.

My husbands after care and explanation of his condition was explained to him thoroughly.

If anyone has to go through this procedure at west Cumberland please rest assured you are in great hands.

Thank you for taking the time to leave this positive comment on the NHS website about you and your husband’s recent experience of attending the endoscopy department at West Cumberland Hospital.

I am very glad to hear that your husband found the care and attention to be of such a high standard and his aftercare explained well.

Endoscopy staff do work within a busy environment but they always ensure that patients, and their families, feel comfortable and feel at ease.

Thank you for giving us the option to share these comments with the team, I am sure they will be pleased to hear that you both felt well cared for.

With our best regards,

Alison S-D
