Karen is always prompt to help, replying to me with solutions or an appointment to come out and see me. She is very friendly and empathetic. I've never been let down by her and have always had solutions to me issues.
Excellent care given
Karen's stoma support was vital to me following a complex surgery/surgical error and ongoing difficulties with my stoma management. Throughout all the contact I had with Karen, she was consistently respectful, supportive and caring; she allowed me to feel like 'I mattered'. I trusted that she would 'stay the course', and help me to find a way to resolve, what was becoming a very difficult problem. I feel that her vast clinical experience, her calm manner and especially her humour helped me through a difficult and quite traumatic time.
Karen was very helpful and patient when explaining everything step by step. Lovely personality and couldn’t recommend her enough! A credit to the team and am grateful she is my nurse.
Karen has been wonderful. She explained everything well to us and made me feel very comfortable. It was hard to come to terms with at first having a stoma but Karen guided us through it and made me feel confident. She was full of knowledge and has been a wonderful guide. Thank you for everything Karen.
