They were short staffed beyond belief whilst we were there in early March.
The nurse looking after us told us she was an 'adult' trained nurse and not a children's nurse but that she had been sent to the ward to work because of it being short staffed.
Although she was really nice, It worried me because I thought only children's nurses should care for children? Maybe I'm wrong.
Also is it right to have starved your child for surgery to be told at very short notice it is cancelled because of this ward being understaffed.
The play therapists were good.
I wasn't told about the sensory room and considering my child has ASD it would have been beneficial for him to use this room to relax in.
I just feel disappointed in general.
