Beatson West of Scotland Cancer Centre

Great cancer care and support

Every single person there were amazing, i have been made to feel welcome and relaxed, i can't thank each and every one enough for their amazing care and compassion during these hard times, i honestly don't have the words to express my gratitude.

A top class facility

I was helped in finding my way to the department I was to go to by staff who were kind enough to help me.even though they were busy.I felt the whole atmosphere was very warm to patients who were there for their first time.

Dr. Nixon, and everyone in her team that I have met, from the receptionists to the clinicians have been excellent; caring, friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and professional. Arrangements were made for the first part of my treatment to be administered from my GP`s surgery to save long travel distances being necessary, and when I contacted Dr. Nixon`s secretary about a detail of my treatment, I received a prompt, courteous and helpful reply. I am looking forward with confidence to the next part of my treatment at the Beatson. and am very grateful to all in the health service who are supporting me. (I would also thank very gratefully Consultant Nurse Linda Gabaldi (Urology), and the teams at the Glasgow Royal Infirmary, the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, Gartnavel Hospital and the Vale of Leven DG Hospital for diagnosis, scans and biopsies, along with my GP Dr.Coul and his team at the Inveraray Surgery. You are all doing such excellent work, I am extremely grateful to you all. John Hay.

Dr Nixon made my daughter and myself relaxed and at ease on my first visit to the beatson hospital, she explained all about my upcoming treatment time wise and went through all the possible side effects and also where I could get any further help/advice or information I may need.

I live over 100 miles from hospital when i arrived very helpful car parking attendant gave directions to the department and best car park. Reception staff at out patients very efficient but friendly as were staff who booked me into clinic appointment

I was treated for lunge cancer although very scareu i was treated fabulously by all the team in K treatment room for my radiotherapy and also the macmillan day therapy room for my chemo. I could not ask for better treatment and if i have to go back i would i would not bat an eye. Just keep up the goodwork. I have nothing but praise for the NHS and the beatson Thank you thank you.

My visits to the Beatson have been very comfortable and I have felt that I was treated kindly and respectfully. The staff (and people i think are volunteers) in general are cheerful, efficient and empathetic. I couldn't wish for better care in a better environment.

Always had good treatment from this hospital. All staff have been approachable and helpful
