Dr Alison Birtle

Written by a patient at Royal Preston Hospital

Having switched consultants to Dr Alison Birtle my wife and I could not be happier with our first review despite some negative information. She put us a ease right away and our questions were answered fully and sensitively. We were relieved to be told that I would undergo relevant scans to ascertain the current position of my cancer following my recent chemotherapy programme. In addition she wished to explore the effects of current ongoing injection treatment on my bone density and also widened our knowledge with helpful information. Whatever the future holds we now feel in safe hands.

My son was diagnosed with testicular cancer in 2011. We were told by Mr Duffy his surgeon that he would be treated by the best Dr Alison Birtle, and how right he was. She was there for him from the word go, not only as a professional but she has also been a friend to him. We have never once doubted her treatment. She even went to visit him when she heard that he had been admitted into hospital to have an unrelated operation. My son is still in her care, and as a mother I am so grateful for the care that she has given and is still giving to him.

I am under the wonderful care of Dr Alison Birtle. She has a natural ability to engage in conversation, not just in relation to ones own medical problem, but shows an interest in all other aspects of daily life which helps immensely in maintaining a good atmosphere. She shows a genuine delight in any positive results her prescribed treatment is producing, which in turn gives one the confidence to deal with what is otherwise a nerve racking experience. She’s simply the best.

What a wonderful person. Put me at my ease straight away. Having several other medical issues beside prostate cancer I was fearful and uncertain whether to even go ahead with any treatment. Dr Birtle explained everything in detail. Showed concern over my current conditions and other avenues she wanted exploring in order to rule out possible problems during treatment. She listened to all our questions and answered them in an honest and caring manner. I just had to give her a hug before I left our first meeting. Within a few days of seeing her I had a change of a current medication, an appointment for a full bone scan and had started treatment. This lady knows her stuff, she is charming, helpful and friendly whilst still being professional. The NHS has an angel working for them. I cannot recommend or praise her highly enough. Thank you Doctor B
