Attended Markethill Health Centre Treatment Room for bloods.

As someone who has really bad veins and therefore extremely hard to get a blood sample, prior to and during my appointment I get very anxious.

Staff always make me feel calm and reassured with lots of distraction during the process. I would like to give a special mention to Samantha who can always get the sample on first attempt.  

Thank you to all of the staff for all the good work you continue to do, it is very much appreciated.

Hi indigobc84,

I am delighted to receive your Care Opinion story today and learn of your experience in Markethill Treatment Room. It is good to see the skills and competence of our staff being recognised, and that you were made to feel calm and reassured during your visits.

I have shared your feedback with the Markethill Treatment Room team and Treatment Room Lead Nurse.

I have also recommended Samantha for a Southern Health and Social Care Greatix Award as you have given her a special mention.

Thank you

Mark
