I have dealt with many asthma nurses and various healthcare trusts over the last 25 years and I have never come across somebody as knowledgeable and caring as Sonia. She truly is an asset and without her help, knowledge and care i would be in a very different place. I met Sonia last sept when I was hospitalised after a severe asthma attack , she put me on different meds, set me up with a prescription emergency care package ( which has never happened before) and she kept in touch via phone appointments in the last 6 months - in short she is conscientious and caring. I contracted COVID before Christmas and I know absolutely for certain that if I hadn’t specifically met Sonia when I did then I would probably be a statistic and not have survived. Pre covid my lung function was the best it has ever been because of Sonia’s knowledge and putting me the right meds , whilst battling COVID my lung capacity dropped by 150 on peak flow, before Sonia that was my normal, I always took my prescribed inhalers and still my asthma wasn’t controlled. With Sonia’s input my peak flow was up to 450 - something that hasn’t happened in decades, so when I got COVID I was able to control it with taking my emergency steroids, prescribed by Sonia and not be hospitalised. Her knowledge and dedication literally has saved my life and I will always be eternally grateful to her and her hard work and dedication.
