I always try to reassure them

“Most patients I come across in the laboratories are undergoing the procedure for the first time, and will naturally be quite anxious. I always try to reassure them.”

My job is to transfer patients

“My job is to transfer patients from the wards to the cardiac catheterisation laboratories and back using the hospital trolleys. Each trip takes about 20 minutes on average, so it can get very busy when we have many procedures going on at the same time. Most patients I come across in the laboratories are undergoing the procedure for the first time, and will naturally be quite anxious. I always try to reassure them. I do what I do because I love my job.”
