Dr Alison Birtle

Written by a NHS patient at Royal Preston Hospital

I met Professor Birtle for the first time on Monday 5th October in Westmorland General Hospital. She immediately made me feel completely at ease. Her approach was friendly, professional and reassuring. The manner in which she explained the proposed radiotherapy treatment, for which I have been referred, was both thorough and yet easy for a layman to understand. I feel privileged to be put under the care of such a knowledgeable and caring oncologist .

A busy clinic and a complex history but Professor Birtle was the first physician I had met after 6 long months of multiple investigations who took the time to rationalise all these different elements into a clear and coherent history and strategy. I am very grateful and more optimistic than I had been.

In 15 years of immersion in the NHS health care system, I’ve never met such an affable, caring, professional, thoughtful and dedicated clinician. The first appointment was a such a positive, reassuring experience for my partner and I. Every question I arrived armed with was answered without me even asking! Her Specialist Nurse, Andrew Hunnisett was also superb and has been very attentive since our first meeting. I feel I’m in the best hands possible and have every confidence I will make a complete recovery under Professor Birtle’s five star, gold standard care. Thank you!
