"Keep up the fantastic work"

About: Royal Aberdeen Children's Hospital

(as a parent/guardian),

My 2 year old daughter was recently admitted to the Royal Aberdeen Children's Hospital via A&E for a pneumonia. She stayed for two nights in the Medical ward. During her care, she was seen by multiple doctors and nurses, who were all diligent and reassuring.

It was a difficult time for myself, as no parent finds it easy seeing their child very unwell, but my concerns were always welcomed with the utmost respect and compassion.

My daughter was thoroughly monitored and although she was very poorly on admission, by the time we were discharged, she was greatly improved and back to her usual chirpy self. I was given medicines with clear instructions, and notes explaining the care she received.

I would like to thank everyone for their kindness and skill in treating my daughter; not just for her being physically well again, but also for the tact and professionalism expressed during the medical procedures, which were delicately handled to comfort my child and reassure her that she was in safe hands. Additionally, thank you for providing entertainment and a lovely variety of food during her stay. A scary experience for us both was dramatically eased with the pure excellence of your staff and I am forever thankful for her good health and fond memories despite the situation. Keep up the fantastic work.

Hi Nckr, I am delighted to hear that your daughter is well on the mend again and that despite all she's been through she has fond memories at RACH. We love to hear when we get things right as the staff are very committed and work extremely hard so positive feedback is always welcome.

I am glad that your daughter also enjoyed our new buffet style of serving food in the wards, the staff are very proud of the improvements they have made alongside the catering department. Our play staff also work hard to keep the children (and parents!) entertained so its good to know its appreciated.

Thank you for taking the time to post this on Patient Opinion and I will share your fabulous feedback with everyone across the hospital.
