I attended the Day Surgery Unit at RAH, Paisley, for a colonoscopy. The nursing staff were very friendly, efficient, and professional both when preparing me for the procedure and when I was returned to the ward afterwards.
The colonoscopy procedure itself was clearly explained by the doctor and the staff involved in carrying it out, and it was genuinely painless!
I was given a written report on the outcome of my colonoscopy and what would be happening next before I was discharged, along with clear guidance on what I should expect after the sedation and the procedure. This was all very reassuring.and useful.
I have nothing but praise for all involved on the day - but I had tried to contact the unit prior to the day of my appt as I had a couple of questions and this proved impossible. The phone numbers given with the info sent were only relevant for rearranging an appt, and when I tried to call via main switchboard at the times specified in the info, nobody answered or the line was continually engaged. This is not acceptable.
