"Gone the extra mile on my behalf"

About: WestMARC (Forth Valley) / Paediatric Wheelchair Clinic

(as a service user),

I have been having issues with my new wheelchair.   As I have said before the engineer, Alan, is superb and  did his usual  excellent job and I cannot rate him highly enough.   This time, however, I wish to highlight Tracy, the wheelchair nurse who had to put up with my moans and whinges etc. a d who works away every day behind the scenes  working to try and get clients what they require and give the best advice possible.  

She showed real patience and I went away from my fitting fairly, although not entirely, happy.  Since my fitting Tracy has obviously been working hard, again  behind the scenes, and now I have what I asked for and am so delighted.  

I have not used the new chair in its new configuration  yet so cannot comment on whether it will ultimately  be suitable for me, but you cannot but admire the fact that Tracy has gone the extra mile on my behalf and God bless her for doing so.  

Thanks Tracy and especially for putting up with me.

Dear woodpeckerhe35,

Thank you for taking the time to post your comments on Care Opinion. I am so delighted to read that, other than your first fitting appointment not being fully satisfied, Tracy was able to support you in finding a solution.

The Occupational Therapists are skilled in assessment in order to meet Patient needs. The team works hard and will be delighted that their work is appreciated.

I am so pleased for both Tracey and Allen to have received your thanks and will make sure to pass on your comments.

Kindest regards

Heather Richardson
