I have met with Karen now on several occasions and after each visit felt very reassured by her advice/experience. She is very polite, friendly, accommodating and helpful with ordering any products she feels may suite my needs.
I would definitely recommend Karen and would feel very comfortable in contacting her if needed.

Karen was just who I needed at a vulnerable time. She was very encouraging, supportive and knowledgeable and gave me some confidence from our first meeting.
She has been available as and when required and has provided invaluable contacts and advice.
She has been flexible in arranging visits which has been really helpful.
I feel fortunate to have Karen as my Stomer nurse.
Karen was my after care stoma nurse and supply set up connection all of which she did with no fuss or bother to add to this she was understanding of the problems faced by new stoma patients and was a great teacher and adviser
Karen is very approachable and friendly, I feel totally at ease with her.
