About: Oncology / Radiotherapy

(as the patient),

I have worked in the NHS for 40 years supplying equipment and have seen many aspects of it. Having found high PSA levels I was accelerated into a special programme within weeks and am today on my 10th visit of 37.

Treatment here has been fantastic. Staff are all very pleasant, friendly and helpful.

People do a marvellous job with, I suspect, fewer resources and less money and I could not criticise anything at all. Having worked in the hospital for many years I am probably more tolerant than most about how things work.

I live in Perth and found that coming to Ninewells in Dundee by public transport was very difficult and time-consuming. However, using the car also has its problems. Car parking is always a huge issue - finding a space is slightly easier if you come early in the morning.

Dear Bill07, thank you very much for taking the time to feedback your experience of our Radiotherapy Department. My name is Bob, one of the Support Workers who welcome you to our department. It is very gratifying to hear that our Support Workers, Therapeutic Radiographers and Oncology Specialist Nurses have made you feel comfortable through their professional and caring manner. Given your extensive dealings and understanding of resources within our NHS, your kind words will be well received when I pass them on, thank you.

Yes, your comments about the car parking situation are correct and it is an ongoing issue that our Head of Department continues to take to departmental issues.

On behalf of everyone here, I hope that your treatment continues to go well and that you benefit from them. All the best for the future.

Kind regards... Bob
