Felt heard and given proper reassurance

I felt that my concerns were heard and my symptoms were treated with appropriate attention. I received thorough examinations and was given reassurance about my condition. I was advised to return promptly if my symptoms persisted or worsened. I left the appointment feeling considerably better and would like to express my appreciation for the professionalism and thoroughness of the healthcare professional I saw, as well as the reassuring guidance I received before departing.

Listened carefully and referred me appropriately

I attended an appointment to seek advice regarding a skin concern. The healthcare professional discussed the findings from our consultation in considerable detail and provided a prescription for treatment. A referral to a specialist was also arranged. Following completion of the prescribed course and specialist consultation, I experienced a full recovery. I was very satisfied with the approach taken during my visit. The clinician demonstrated attentive listening to my worries and enquiries, and offered guidance of a high standard. I am grateful for the care received.

Felt genuinely listened to and understood

I was accompanying a vulnerable family member during their appointment; it was our first visit with this clinician. My family member has experienced several challenging interactions within the NHS previously and struggles with attending appointments or discussing their health concerns openly. The clinician demonstrated strong observational skills and recognised that, based on the patient's demeanour, there were considerable obstacles affecting their ability to access suitable care. They built effective rapport by showing interest in the patient's personal matters and thoughtfully addressing various questions that fell outside the scope of their health issues. Although the patient was reluctant to discuss their concerns directly, they felt at ease with me explaining the situation on their behalf and, in contrast to previous experiences, remained throughout the appointment. They felt heard and valued, and they were pleased with the suggestions that were offered.

Relaxed appointment with thorough questioning

Attended an annual review of a health condition today, on a weekend day, which was convenient with minimal traffic and plenty of parking available. The clinician I saw was welcoming and cheerful, thorough in asking about my condition, and I felt at ease throughout the appointment without feeling rushed. My questions were answered patiently and I didn't feel like I was imposing on their time.
