About the Iain Rennie Nurses
"The nurses were like a gift from Heaven - friends, mentors and confidantes to us all."
"Our nurse cried with me when my heart was breaking."
"I was so poorly that I was unable to keep any food down. My IRHH nurse spoke to my GP and agreed on an injection. The nurse organised the prescription and came and gave me the injection. It worked wonders and the next day I enjoyed a cooked breakfast for the first time in ages."
"The IRHH nurse built up a close relationship with us and offered complementary therapies, such as aromatherapy, which really made a difference."
"My husband finds his increasing disability and loss of dignity very difficult to cope with, and we grieve for the loss of the normal life we had before his diagnosis. The IRHH nurses have helped us to deal with these feelings and to cope better with the uncertain future we face."
"I find hospital visits can be daunting and I get confused by all the information. The IRHH nurse accompanies me and stays with me afterwards until I feel satisfied that I have understood everything that the consultant has said."
"My friend was in a lot of pain with her cancer, and living alone. The IRHH nurse arranged, via her GP, to set up a syringe pump to give her continuous drugs to control her pain. She was very anxious, and IRHH arranged for a nurse to stay the first night with her. We hope that she will now be able to regain some independence."
"My nurse let me unravel my worries slowly, in my own time."
"The nurses were always calm in a crisis, reliable, sensitive, flexible, sympathetic and a source of useful information. We formed a strong bond, having been closely involved in an intensely emotional experience together."
"IRHH's skill and dedication throughout his illness helped us to face reality at a pace suitable to all our needs. They planned ahead, kept us informed and liaised effectively with all the others involved in his treatment and care; most importantly, they offered genuine compassion in our time of need."
"They were always very respectful and gracious."
