"She’s an absolute professional"

About: Motherwell Locality Support Service / Treatment Room

(as a service user),

Unfortunately and inexplicably my veins weren’t giving blood - this has never happened to me before as bloods are usually taken easily from me.

I was starting to get a bit anxious and upset but Maureen was very patient and reassured me that this could be sorted. She subsequently managed to find a good vein and draw sufficient blood to enable the tests that doctor had requested.

I was quite emotional but Maureen was very comforting and helped me compose myself. I hope that others can be more like Maureen and hopefully Maureen will be available should I need bloods taken in the future. 

She’s an absolute professional.

Good evening

Many thanks for your very positive feedback regarding Maureen, I am delighted to hear that Maureen put you at ease and managed to get your bloods which was proving to be very difficult, I am sure sure this was very distressing for you and hopefully this does not happen on future occasions.

I will let Maureen know about your lovely feedback, it is so nice for the staff to hear positive comments from patients.

Many thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback and I wish you well in the future.

Kind regards

Paula Smith

Treatment Room Team Leader.
