"A respectful, person-centred and empathetic approach"

About: Queen Elizabeth University Hospital Glasgow / Audiology Royal Alexandra Hospital / Audiology West Glasgow Ambulatory Care Hospital (Yorkhill) / Ear, Nose and Throat (EN)

(as a parent/guardian),

This review is greatly overdue about the audiology department in the children's outpatient hospital, Queen Elizabeth, Yorkhill Hospital prior to that, and the RAH in Paisley.

Our daughter has been supported by excellent staff -  including Pat at the RAH, Nicky, Bibek, Louise and Mr Clement at the Queen Elizabeth.

From the start when we anxiously waited to hear if our baby daughter could hear, to being supported through the years, we have been very impressed by the respectful, person-centred and empathetic approach of the staff.

Our daughter has had a grommet operation, hearing checks, a bone conductor hearing aid, hearing device and recommended bone conductor headphones. These have made our daughter's life easier and helped her hearing in classes in school.

The staff have been very supportive and made such a difference when my daughter was diagnosed with microtia, helping her to adjust to her condition and over the years my daughter feels staff are easy to talk to, fun and listen to her well.

One audiologist, Bibek, gave my daughter a packet of sweets when he heard it was her birthday, the little things are the big things in life and we have been very impressed by the audiology staff.

We would like to thank them for the amazing work that they do, it has been greatly appreciated by myself, my husband and my daughter.

Keep up the good work, you are all such special people.

Dear cruxgs39

Thank you so much for sharing such a heartfelt and thoughtful review of your family’s experience with the Audiology Department at Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Yorkhill Hospital, and the Royal Alexandra Hospital. We are truly touched by your kind words and are grateful for your patience in sharing this review.

It is wonderful to hear how Pat, Nicky, Bibek, Louise, and Mr Clement, alongside the rest of the team, have supported your daughter and your family through her hearing journey. We understand how anxious those early days must have been, and we’re glad that our team was able to offer you comfort and reassurance every step of the way.

We are especially happy to hear how much the team’s respectful, person-centred care has helped your daughter adjust to her condition and feel comfortable during her appointments. Little gestures, like Bibek’s birthday sweets, are indeed the “big things” that make a difference, and we are thrilled to know that such thoughtful care has positively impacted your daughter’s life.

Your kind words mean so much to us, and we will be sure to pass them along to all the staff involved. They will be delighted to know that their efforts have made such a difference.

Kind regards

Kevin
