Sharon Beale - Urology Clinical Nurse Specialist

Written by a NHS patient at Urology Services

Sharon came to my home and thoroughly explained why I was having problems with my waterworks.She has a warm, bubbly personality and made me feel comfortable as soon as we met. She patiently went through what needed to be done to relieve my symptoms in a very professional manner. During the past ten years I have had two operations and numerous medications. None of this has actually helped so I’m just hoping that Sharon’s instructions will help. Time will tell. Thankyou Sharon.

I was told I had to Self Catheterise & although I accepted this, it did throw me into panic mode after leaving the hospital. Sharon Beale came to my home, firstly explaining how the body worked, gave me a booklet so I can refer to it again & again. I found Sharon, calm, very easy to talk to, listened to my concerns & put me completely at ease. I found her so qualified & very knowledgeable & caring & she made me feel special, but also confirmed I am not different by having to do this. She encouraged me & told me I was doing well, which is what I needed to hear. I don’t feel on my own in this as Sharon has told me I can ring her anytime. Sharon’s support meant a lot to me. I am so pleased Sharon came to show me how it all works.

Having been catheterised post surgery for 3 months as bladder nerves not working well, and in much discomfort, I was hugely anxious about intermittent self catheterisation and had all but convinced myself I would not be able to manage the process. Sharon was warm and down to earth, incredibly supportive, hugely knowledgeable, listened and filled me with the confidence I needed to acheive successful catheterisation. No rush, all done in a relaxed and very reassuring way. Before she left she made sure I had contact number for more support and offered to come back if necessary at any time, and organised catheter supplies which arrived as promised the next day. A consumately compassionate professional who I am lucky to have met.
