I have PCOS and have struggled from puberty with it, gynae in the Belfast trust referred me for laser hair removal in the laser suites in the ulster hospital after all other attempts failed to keep the hair at bay.
Now keep in mind I struggled from puberty with this and puberty and teen years are hard enough without hirsutism. I was skeptical about laser as I had heard good things but wasn’t sure what the Ulster would be like as I’ve only ever received care in the Belfast trust.
Well what can I say about the nurses and nursing assistants in the laser suites other than they are everything a healthcare professional should be. They were kind, caring, empathetic and supportive. From the first consultation right through to my last. During treatments I was given a stress ball for one hand and a nursing assistant held my other hand, having mental googles on your eyes and getting laser on your face is obviously sore so having the support meant so much to me, anytime it got too much it was no trouble for the girls to pause for a minute for a wee breather for me.
I am a nursing assistant in the Belfast trust and also a nursing student, if I were to turn out as half the healthcare professional these are then I’d be happy. These professionals have an appointment with you for 30 minutes every few weeks but every single time show the same kindness and support that is needed. They are a credit to their profession and to the Ulster hospital.
