I had to attend the Women's Day Clinic last week for an intimate and invasive examination followed by some uncomfortable treatment and yet I still managed to leave my appointment feeling relaxed, at ease and confident about the next steps. This was entirely due to the absolutely fantastic Colposcopy Nurse Specialist Christine.
Christine exemplifies what it means to be an expert nurse, the perfect blend of experience, knowledge, skills, empathy and kindness. It felt like her mere presence filled the clinic with a sense of calmness and serenity. My apprehension and vulnerability melted away as the appointment progressed and afterwards I had a wee chuckle to myself as I pondered how I could go through that appointment and still feel better than when I arrived!
Every ward and department should have a Christine!
