I am a support worker and recently supported a gentleman with a learning disability to an appointment as a day case patient for a cytoscopy. From checking in to discharge the treatment that he received was inclusive and personal centred around his needs. I was allowed to be with him throughout the whole process from pre assessment , going into theatre with him and throughout his recovery thus enabling him a much less anxious experience. Everyone was extremely attentive and I would especially like to say how wonderful the nurses on the day case ward were to mention a few staff nurse learning disability champions.
