Ms Katrina Taylor

Written by a NHS patient at The Elmhurst Practice

Katrina was absolutely fantastic. I went in for a smear test and was very nervous because my two past smear tests had been poorly conducted and because I've been sexually assaulted the experience itself makes me anxious (so much so that I had a panic attack after the last smear test). I explained to Katrina what had happened and she listened to me with concern, she listened as to why my previous smear tests had been bad and why I was so nervous. She took great care and attention to take her time and talk me through the whole procedure, constantly asking if I'm ok, and being gentle. This is the first time a nurse has taken time and care while doing a smear test, and listened to me while administering great care. I cannot thank Katrina enough but I would like to try: Thank you so much for your care, attention, kindness and thoughtfulness during my appointment; you gave me a positive experience for the first time for me with a smear test, and you are an exemplary role model to nurses. If I have the choice, I would only choose to see Katrina as a nurse, she has been the best one I have seen at the Elmhurst Practice my entire life.

Katrina is the best nurse I have ever met. I have been in and out of hospital for the past few years and met so many nurses, doctors, surgeons and out of all of them Katrina is the best. She is the only nurse who has made me feel comfortable and safe. She makes me feel more like a person than a patient and is so sympathetic towards any issues I have. She has a real and genuine care for her patients and was born to do what she does. Simply, she is fantastic and if I could she would be the only nurse I see for the rest of my life.

She did my smear test for me and made me feel so incredibly relaxed and comfortable. I have vaginismus so anything to do with my vagina is always really stressful and uncomfortable - but she made me feel so safe and happy. I wish I could have all my smear tests with her. A wonderful nurse!
