Punch biopsy/excision

Posted By Angelcat

"Punch biopsy/excision"

About: Royal Cornwall Hospital (Treliske) / Dermatology

(as a service user),

I visited Dermatology Department at Royal Cornwall Hospital as an outpatient on in July 2021 to have a biopsy procedure on my left shin. My daughter/Carer wheeled me in my Wheelchair and left me in the capable hands of the nursing staff. All the people involved treated me with kindness, care and utmost patience as I am also very deaf. I cannot praise the NHS enough. They made sure I understood what was going to happen and how to care for my wound when I got home. My thanks to Jo and Sonia who carried out the biopsy as they made sure I was comfortable and that I understood exactly what they were doing. Very many thanks to everyone in Dermatology.
