Ninewells radiotherapy

Posted By The man with shorts

"Ninewells radiotherapy"

About: Cancer Services / Radiotherapy

(as a service user),

I started Radiotherapy treatment at Ninewells hospital, Dundee, just over 7 weeks ago. I was a bit apprehensive at first but all the staff from the specialist nurses, receptionists and radiotherapy nurses were brilliant, caring and nothing was too much bother to them. Every member of staff was so nice to everyone that entered that department. 

I’m not in hospitals very often but I don’t think you could get a better group of staff working together, they really are a great team at Ninewells.

Dear The Man with Shorts, thank you very much for taking the time to feedback your experience in our Radiotherapy Department. My name is Bob, one of the Clinical Support Workers based at Reception who would have helped you prepare for your treatments. I am so glad to hear that our whole team of Therapeutic Radiographers and Oncology Support Team Nurses ensured that your apprehensiveness was alleviated. Our combined staff really do work well together to provide a service that you appear to appreciate.

We wish you well from all of us.

Kind regards... Bob

Dear 'the man with shorts',

I would echo Bob's comments above and thank you again for sharing such lovely comments. Our teams work really hard to provide the best care experience possible and feedback is really important to them. I was delighted that your experiences were so positive and will ensure this is fed back to the nursing team.

Wishing you well.

Kindest regards
