My baby had to spend a few days in the children’s ward and we were very grateful to the professional and caring nurses. In particular Stef, who was very attentive and went over and above. She was constantly taking the initiative to make sure our baby was looked after thoroughly, and that we were informed throughout. She was an absolute stand out on the ward.
While doctors were happy to answer questions we did find a slight challenge with clear communication. I would make the suggestion that to ensure information is communicated more easily from the doctors to families, perhaps a patient/family friendly discharge document could be made. For example this could detail what treatment happened during the stay, what the next treatment plan is, why decisions were made, medication doses/timings, reminders etc.
I am very appreciative of the care we received on the ward - thank you to all!
