Hello all. I would like to request a different breast care nurse but I'm unsure if this is even possible and if it is, who to contact?
I was diagnosed June of last year and am now coming to the end of my active treatment, meaning I'll be passed back to my breast care nurse. I've thought many times since about sending a complaint about her for many reasons, but haven't. It would take too long to go into it all, but her behaviour and treatment towards me has been shocking to say the least and I do not want to ever see her again. It would trigger me to have anxiety attacks to have to have an appointment with her.
I wanted to request someone (anyone) else months ago, but my husband was panicking that I would receive even worse treatment and I was awaiting surgery, so I didn't.
Has anyone changed their nurse? If so, how did you go about it? I'm based in Glasgow.
Hi , I haven't changed but I did have to raise my concerns about my wait time for my operation and the lack of information. I went to the PALS office. Patient advice and liaison services. In the hospital and they were a great help without causing a big fuss. Does your hospital have one of these?.
