And a final word from our patients

‘You are the first person ever to have asked me “how does this make me feel?” Thank you.’

‘I can go out without make-up on for the first time in 6 years. My life feels transformed.’

‘I was very glad to visit the dermatology department for my annual skin checks with the specialist nurses. It takes away the worry of not spotting another skin cancer.’

‘I hate needles of any form and was so nervous, but the dermatology nurses’ team could not have been kinder and got me through my procedure.’

‘My father has had so many skin cancers; we are grateful for the nurses’ attention and the time they have given to our concerns at each visit.’

‘Thank you very much for your kind, professional and knowledgeable approach to our consultation. I very much appreciated all your extra advice. I only wish I had met you much earlier. I was clearly in expert hands.’

‘Thank you so much for being so kind, caring and supportive – not to mention professional – in yesterday’s appointment. You made a big difference to how my husband and I were feeling regarding my condition, and that lifted us enormously.’

‘For the past 12 years, having regular appointments with the nurse-led service has made a huge difference to my wellbeing. I feel able to look out for danger signs, as the skills to do this have been carefully taught to me. Previously, I felt it was better to find out about recurrence later rather than sooner, but now I take a proactive stance.’
