This nurse was caring beyond the call of duty. He has a perfect bedside manner, is patient, excellent at explaining and together with a sense of humour he is without doubt the most helpful and kindest we have come across in a long time. We would recommend him to anyone.
Thank you, this is lovely to read. I find life is a lot more pleasant with an explanation and a smile!
Andrew was very professional whilst being able to make me feel I could ask any questions without being made to feel I was wasting anyone’s time.
He was very conscious of the delicate situation and asked me if I was ok to show my stoma and discuss my queries.
Overall a very good call and very informative.
Thank you Andrew.
