Dr Alison Birtle

Written by a patient at Royal Lancaster Infirmary

Dr Birtle was confident and clear when she explained my condition and treatment. She took plenty of time and made me feel relaxed. She answered all of my queries and helped me to understand what the next stage was and how I could cope with any after affects. I feel like I can contact her with any concerns I may have.

I cannot thank Dr Birtle enough for the 110% care and attention she has given to my dad over the past few years. Dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer over 10 years ago and was petrified of hospitals and all things associated with them...... until he met Dr Birtle. So much so that he really looked forward to going to see her for his regular checkups etc. This gave our family a great deal of confidence that dad was being looked after to the highest possible degree as things were explained to him on his level and not ‘souped-up’. Dad didn’t suffer fools gladly, and didn’t like the wool pulled over his eyes. Dr Birtle’s knowledge and expertise gave dad a great deal of quality to his life during the latter years but unfortunately dad passed away recently but ironically not due to his prostate cancer. This dear Dr is an Angel in disguise and deserves 100% support and backing to be able to carry on with the excellent work she carries out on a daily basis.

I was discharged from the oncology department this week, having been under the care of Dr Birtle for the last 10 years. During this time she has always given me the best of care and I would trust her decisions implicitly.

I found Dr Birtle very easy to talk to and she was very professional in her understanding and knowledge of my situation. Personally I have been amazed at the whole experience, the doctor made me feel positive and encouraged me throughout. I personally think that Dr Birtle is a true professional and at the same time friendly and happy. She took the time and interest to make me feel relaxed and positive about the situation and I couldn’t have hoped for better care and outcome. Dr Birtle and her team have carefully guided me through and I will be forever grateful to them, they are amazing.

Met with Alison this week following a diagnosis of a Stage 1 Seminoma. She took the time to explain everything to me clearly and discuss all possible options. She was incredibly supportive and made me feel extremely relaxed talking to her. She was more than happy to discuss any concerns which I had and was just absolutely amazing in general.
