IBD Clinicians | |
1. | “Quicker access to medical help over the weekend, my inflammatory flare ups always happen over the weekend. NHS 24 is hopeless over the weekend “(P78) |
2. | “That they don't only support your physical disease but the emotional scars it leaves. That between the GI ward and IBD nurse it just feels like one big family. “(P78b) |
3. | “More frequent gastroenterology visits with gastroenterologist or IBD nurse. Surely an IBD nurse for every sufferer in Scotland is achievable.”(P213) |
4. | “IBD nurses are amazing people and having a named nurse to call when things go wrong is an amazing resource that is seriously undervalued.” (P58) |
5. | I wasn't referred to the IBD nurse until I first went to hospital on the mainland. I live in a very remote area and knowing that this resource was available would have been very useful when I was first diagnosed. (P359) |
6. | But having a nurse specialist is of great support and keeps things monitored much more closely (P89) |
7. | Easier access to IBD and stoma nurse. (P64) |
8. | More staff/nurses! The current ones are overworked and underpaid. (P85) |
