Mr Richard Turner

Written by a patient at Furness General Hospital

To know that I have the support of Richard means so much. I don't have to worry about who to contact if I have a concern, I know that Richard is there to sort it for me. He has been so supportive and guided me through all the stages of my treatment so far, and I know that he will be there for me as my treatment progresses. He always has time for me and has explained the various aspects of the treatment and what to expect, in some cases more than once. In the early stages it was sometimes difficult to take in what I was being told by a consultant or specialist and Richard clarified any uncertainties. I could ask for more from Richard or anybody else who has been involved in my care!!

I have recently been diagnosed with prostate cancer, and am only just starting down the road towards treatment. Richard has been already been so very helpful both with the depth of his knowledge, and with practical help and advice. I feel very lucky to have Richard in my corner.

Richard is excellent. We couldn`t have wished for a more understanding, kind and supportive person. Straightforward, clear, good advice and guidance. Nothing too much trouble. Very grateful. He assured us he is available to talk to us as and when needed. How good is that!

Richard is the ultimate professional! Following my mother's recent diagnosis of Bladder Cancer, he has met with us on a couple of occasions and returned phonecalls when my mum was feeling particularly anxious. It is difficult to add to the reviews which have already been left, but we can say that we have also felt extremely reassured by our consultations with him. His kindness, empathy, compassion and knowledge / experience is palpable. He delivers information in a way which can be understood and is attentive to everybody in the room. He does what he says he is going to do, which has not always been the case with other services, and this helps us to have trust and confidence in his ability. When he says he is there for you, I truly believe he means it. Consultant appointments are important, but Richard brings the 'human' element to our hospital visits and provides an invaluable service. Nobody wants to be in the position of needing a specialist oncology nurse, but if you do need one, then Richard is the one person you would want by your side. If Carlsberg made nurses.... Thank-you Richard! Kaye Warby
