We are currently an inpatient in the Royal Hospital for Children and Young people in Edinburgh. First and foremost the care that we have received from ALL staff is second to none. They are absolutely amazing.
The only thing that has let this experience be as bit jaded is the catering facilities for parents and families. There is a small cafe on the 4th floor with limited options. And that is it. It closes before dinner time meaning that you either have to take your poorly child to the main adult hospital to get food or leave them alone whilst you go get food. It is used by patients, families and staff meaning it runs out of food quickly. The small sandwich/toastie bar that was onsite for some reason is closed permanently. We need more places to get something decent to eat. Especially for people that have to stay for a while.
