"My son’s asthma nurse"

My son had two severe asthma attacks in a 6 month period. We were back and forth to A&E and Out Of Hours several times over 3 weeks trying to get the attack under control. It was a horrendously stressful time but all the care we received from staff who treated our son was exceptional. However I did notice either discrepancies between advice given by different staff as we changed hands or sometimes insufficient information, which had I known better how to help my son, maybe would have prevented the attack or got them under control quicker.

We were then referred to Lesley, Asthma Nurse at Causeway Hospital, and her professional expertise and thorough knowledge, firm but gentle and caring approach with myself and my son has now set us on the right track to manage his care more effectively ourselves and hopefully prevent any more serious attacks in future. She is an absolute diamond and wealth of wisdom and information and we could not be more grateful to her. Thank you so much Lesley for taking such excellent care of your junior patients.
