Nurse Debbie and assistants who have accompanied her have been beyond everything I could have wished for in the care and compassion shown to my sister and the advice and support given to me

I received treatment for a few months from James Caulfield. James conducted himself with the upmost of professionalism, care and understanding. I was involved with all decisions and his direction was always for my sole benefit. I also felt that I wasn’t being ‘processed’ and even though I never met him in person, he made me feel comfortable and confident that my ride through my health condition would be supported right through until ‘after’ no more care was needed. Thank you very much Clarke

I was told it would be intensive therapy but I'm pretty sure it wasn't. I was honest about how nervous I was about taking phonecalls and just speaking to a therapist in general and it was very difficult for me to do these calls due to extreme anxiety. I also had to cancel a few times due to my physical health problems. I ended up doing 4 sessions and then she suggested that maybe this wasn't working for me and I should maybe try again once my physical health was more stable and I had sorted out my antidepressant dosage with my doctor. This really doesn't help me as I have I can't see my physical health changing at all any time soon. It was suggested that maybe when I'm more sorted I could try again and we could go more in depth rather than just "chit chatting" for an hour. After already saying how bad my anxiety was and that I had been very down lately, this felt like a bit of a slap in the face to be honest and just left me feeling embarrassed. She did say she wasn't forcing me to make a decision but she didn't want to waste my time and that I should think about what I want to do. I didn't feel I could talk to her again after that so I cancelled and probably won't be doing it again any time soon. It's very disappointing because agreeing to therapy was a massive step for me, that I've been putting off for years. Just to be told I'm not ready for therapy because my health is all over the place. She wasn't horrible in any way but I did feel she was trying to influence my decision by kind of listing the negatives and reasons why this might not work.

Don't tell people with long standing health conditions to come back "once their health is more stable". Like I say my health isn't going to change any time soon so does that mean I should write therapy off because I'm not well enough? It's a terrible thing to say to someone who is already struggling so much.

Every experience I have had with the surgery has been very good. I am always treated with respect and fully involved in my care and treatment.

I have no suggestions for improvement as my care and treatment has always been excellent.

Our visit today to the Essex pain management service at St Margarets was a refreshing insight in to what the NHS should be about. My wife has not been able to see her GP for over two years. Finaly, in Dr Wheeler we found someone who, even before he saw Joan was up to speed with her condition & was able to spend time asking questions & listening. He made positive sugestions & we have every faith he will follow up with worthwhile recomendations. Joan would not be able to fill out this review but as her husband & carer I am happy to do it on her behalf.

Ay this moment I can not think of anythig you could have done better.
