I attended the outpatient radiology department for an abdominal ultrasound and was disappointed with the basically non existent bed side manner of the doctor doing the scan.
No welcoming hello, enquiry if I’d had an ultrasound before and knew what to expect. No explanation of what they were going to do or look for. If I’d been a more anxious patient this would have been very unsettling.
It doesn’t take much effort to put a patient at ease, and I was disappointed to experience this when NHS Grampian are supposed to operate a person centred approach to care.
