"4th time a umitigated success"

About: North Tyneside General Hospital

I needed a colonoscopy-three previous attempts at Wansbeck and Nuffield had been unsuccessful despite the considerable skill of the operatives. I can'say that I was terribly confident about a 4th attempt. What I hadn't allowed for was the consummate ability of the doctor and his team. From 'signing in' to leaving I was treated with respect and everything was explained in a simple but non patronising way. The procedure was carried out in a warm, caring but skillful atmosphere. The doctor was successful in investigating the entire colon. Thank you, you're a real credit to your profession and to North Tynside Hospital. Colin

Dear Colin, I am so sorry that you have had the discomfort of multiple procedures - I am aware of how distressing this can be. Thank you for taking the time to share details of your latest appointment . I can see how impressed you were with every aspect of the care provided by the team in North Tyneside. I am delighted for you and hope that this will bring some reassurance with it. I will of course pass this information on but if you would like me to specifically forward to the doctor in question I would be happy to do so. My email is annie.laverty@nhct.nhs.uk . With all best wishes and thanks again, Annie
