"Childrens ward victoria hospital, kirkcaldy"

About: Victoria Hospital / Accident & Emergency

(as a service user),

My child was admitted with high temperature due to viral infection after NHS24 call.

Staff in A&E were very helpful and understanding and the staff in the children's ward were so friendly and warm which put my wife, my child and I at ease straight away. Checks on our child and the family were frequent with a genuine caring air about them. Due to dehydration, getting a canula fitted was a challenge and he was a real trooper as the team were forced to fit it where he did not have numbing cream.

True to their word they rewarded him with a toy; this was totally not expected or necessary however it was greatly appreciated by all of us! Food was readily available, perfectly good quality with a good selection. I was very happy with the service we received especially in light of the struggles the NHS is faced with currently.

Dear Aquilaes53

Thanks for taking the time to give such positive feedback. Our Paediatric services are amazing and I am glad they were able to make your child's experience as atraumatic as possible, I hope they are now recovering well.

Regards

esther
