"All went above and beyond"

About: The Lanarkshire Beatson

(as the patient),

I am approaching the end of an 8-week block of radiotherapy treatment at the Lanarkshire Beatson and have been overwhelmed by the skill, care and attention with which I have been treated. From entering the building and being greeted personally by the staff on the desk, to the professional and courteous treatment given by the team of radiographers operating the Doctor Who-like equipment, and the empathy and experience of the nurse practitioners who reviewed my case weekly, all went above and beyond what I would have expected of dedicated staff to make my experience calm, purposeful and effective. I cannot praise the staff at the Lanarkshire Beatson highly enough. The new building is pretty special too - welcoming spacious and very attractive.

I work in a small team in NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde which seeks to involve patients and carers in the work of the NHS. The biggest part of my role is in managing feedback projects across the Board area, one of which is Patient Opinion. It is my job to give our patients and carers the opportunity to give us feedback, and to make sure that this is passed to the right people to help us improve the services we provide.
