Second visit to breast clinic

Story from nhs.uk

"Second visit to breast clinic"

About: Conquest Hospital

This was the second time I have had to visit the breast clinic and on both occasions the whole team have been professional, considerate and helpful right through from the initial consultation to the scans , X-rays and treatment. It is also reassuring to see the same faces when you have to revisit a department. The clinic is run like clockwork with the patients moving through all necessary tests in a couple of hours. I can't thank them enough for their excellent care on both occasions. Unfortunately, the cleanliness of the hospital lets it down and when I have been to the Conquest for an operation have had a completely different experience on the wards with nurses being rude and uncaring. The difference between clinic and ward is like being in two different hospitals.
