"Thank you for doing a wonderful job"

About: Borders General Practices

(as a service user),

I visited the nurse today at Earlston HC for my routine smear test and she was a lovely human being. 

Not only did she make me feel welcome and at ease from the second she introduced herself, she took time to inform me of the most up to date information on the screening test and answered all my questions. The appointment didn’t feel like  I was there just for a smear test but that she was was interested in my general well being.

Thank you for doing a wonderful job and having amazing verbal and non verbal communication skills.

Dear violetcs46

Thank you for taking the time to use Care Opinion to share the details of your visit to Earlston Health Centre for a routine smear test.

I will ensure your feedback is shared with the practice directly.

It is great to hear that the nurse made you feel at ease throughout and that she was also interested in your general wellbeing. I am sure other women will also appreciate reading the details of your experience to help alleviate any anxieties they will have about going for a smear test.

Best wishes

Karen
