“(Nurses name) was brilliant, she made me feel very relaxed and explained everything to me that I could understand. Felt very welcoming.”
“Patient and understanding consultation. Explanations of testing and results and what next were excellent. Highly recommended.”
“This visit was so helpful and informative! It has changed how I will manage my breathing. (Nurses name) is amazing with her tuition, and wisdom and knowledge.”
“Amanda was very knowledgeable and explained everything to me in a way I felt comfortable and able to understand. Thank you. I am grateful.”
(From a translator for a Filipino client)
“The explanation is very understandable, and the staff is very good and kind to the patient. Keep up the good work, thank you very much.”
“All of this advice and the things you had mentioned to me that I have taken in to practice, has meant that I don’t need to take my blue inhaler during my runs anymore, and I have not had flareups during my daily life like I was having previously. I have now gone much longer periods of time without feeling like something has triggered my asthma, and I have not had a tight feeling in my chest in the middle of the night again. I am so grateful for everything you had spoken to me about and how much you have changed my daily management. Thank you so much.”
Meeting with Canbreathe staff enabled more time to be spent on the patient understanding their asthma/COPD, having more time to ask questions, instructions on importance of medications and how they work and use of spacer – leading to better compliance and less crisis presentations to GP/ED.
“When the patient needed asthma education you provided it even though it wasn’t on the referral”
