I reviewed Fiona here on 28th January 2022. Unfortunately I made an error by incorrectly reporting the date period of my care from her. My apologies for this, so for the record my surgery (Abdo Perineal Resection) was recently on December 3rd 2021. The rest of my review comments given on 28th January were absolutely accurate. I can only repeat the gist which is that I received timely excellent care from Fiona, sincere thanks for this.

I have had the major surgery of Abdo Perineal Resection on 3rd December 2019. So my feedback is all the more exceptional in the context of care being provided approaching Christmas and New year period, as well as ongoing Covid prevention demands. Fiona had prompt referral from the hospital stoma nurse as I was discharged home. From then on I have been totally supported by Fiona on this new and challenging task of coping with my permenant colostomy. I had telephone contact directly, and regularly planned calls, as well as 2 home visits. We have now agreed as I'm adapting to my stoma care routine, Fiona will continue review and support in her clinic. In summary Fiona has helped me with her knowledge, skill, empathy, professionalism and caring approach. Her support has also extended to my husband also, which means a lot.

I have had lots of problems since my stoma was created with pancaking and leaks. I saw Fiona a few weeks ago and she gave me advice on the size of the hole to be cut in the pouch and the type of pouch to use and since following her advice have had no further problems. Thank you Fiona

I moved up to Yorkshire 5 years ago with a newly formed permanent stoma and Fiona's profession care, support and kindness has been second to none. Over the last 5 years I've had various problems relating to my stoma and she has always been there to help and support. Nothing is too much trouble to her, she will suggest and supply different supplies and ways of dealing with all manner of stoma issues. A truly wonderful nurse and a lovely lady.
