Dear Anonymous, I am so sorry you experienced this; it is not how we expect to be treated ourselves were we to use NHS services, so I cannot accept that this is how you have been treated. The Values, Standards and Behaviours the Trust has adopted state that we are Respectful, Caring, Responsible and Committed; clearly these values did not appear to be displayed in the consultation you have described above. If you feel able to do so, please contact us in the Patient Experience Team to advise us about what happened, as we are taking this very seriously and believe it would be appropriate to investigate what has happened here so that no-one else experiences this kind of event. The Patient Experience Team are available between Monday and Friday, 9am and 5pm to take your call on 01279 827084, please do contact us to talk us through what happened so we can ensure the services we provide improve, for everyone we serve.
