Is there a way to contact dundee chest directly to ask about any clinics that may be on, or that we can attend?
Thanks!
You can find the Dundee Chest department weekly program on the original DundeeChest site (Click the DC 1.0 button above). Alternatively, just go down to East block and ask the receptionists.
You’re welcome any time.
I’ve just spent a month in east block and attached to ward 3. Well, almost! I’ve lost count of the number of clinics I’ve attended and have never had any trouble sitting in. The receptionists are fantastic, as are the nursing staff and the team in pulmonary function – everyone has been really helpful and welcoming. I’d suggest going along to a couple of sessions in bronchoscopy, or attending the lung cancer MDT. The MDT can be long and lots of jargon I didn’t understand flew about the room – but even though to begin with you may not have a scooby about what is going on – you soon catch on!
She speaks the truth!
Come down to East block and see what’s going on.
