Mr Richard Turner

Written by a patient at Furness General Hospital

I can not speak highly enough of Richard. He is a truly genuine , honest and caring gentleman. When I first meet Richard my cancer had many problems due to problems shown on MMR scans which Richard arranged promptly . He always was at the MDT meetings and keep me informed promptly. If I felt the need to email or phone him his replies-were very prompt. Well I have had my operation to remove my left kidney and ureter and have no treatment required only regular check ups, I am so lucky with all the service I have had from Richard. Thank You Richard.

Richard Turner was one of the second person I saw after being given my results. He is courteous and explains things thoroughly, carefully, compassionately and was responsible for organising a CT scan to be done extremely promptly. Whenever he says he will do anything at all he does just that. He is a great man to have on your team

When I was diagnosed with kidney cancer in March this year Richard was designated as my MCNS and I can say that I am so very grateful that he was. I mainly used email as a means of communication with Richard and he has been my sole point of contact for everything I needed. He has been superb in answering all my questions and representing me at the Urology MDT meetings. I still can’t get over how promptly Richard supplied me with such excellent answers to my questions and nothing was too much trouble. Richard is simply one of the best communicators I have ever come across and combining this with his wealth of medical knowledge and excellent organisation skills I have felt so reassured having him as my MCNS. It is a great comfort when you are able to have so much confidence in your MCNS as I have.

Since first being diagnosed with cancer of the bladder several months ago, Richard has proved to be invaluable as my CNS. His caring approach, either by telephone or face to face is second to none. He has been a stabling influence to both my husband and myself on more than one occasion and has never failed to make contact during a crisis when we have needed him. Richard has always answered any questions truthfully and has made and confirmed various appointments for me efficiently. To have Mr Richard Turner 'on our side' has been a great comfort when we have felt so confused and terrified at what the future holds. He is a credit to his profession.
