"The outstanding care provided by the ambulance crew"

About: Scottish Ambulance Service / Emergency Ambulance

(as a parent/guardian),

My son woke in the early hours of the morning with acute breathing issues. Following a 999 call an ambulance arrived very swiftly. The ambulance team were amazing. They listened and reassured us while being very professional and demonstrating a high level of clinical skill. They took my son and I into the ED. They then took the time to provide an excellent handover and ensured we were ok before leaving. And more unexpectedly both of the crew returned later (after another job resulted in return to the hospital) to check up on my son. They each demonstrated a highly empathetic and professional approach and I am so grateful for them, as they helped us through a very stressful situation.

Dear Clarabelle85!,

Many thanks for taking the time to share your feedback here on CareOpinion. I am so sorry to read about what happened to your son, as a parent myself I cannot imagine how scary this was for you. I do hope that he is feeling better. It is so great to hear positive stories about the work our wonderful staff provide.

If you wish I can pass on the feedback to the crew directly. To do so we would need to know the date, time and address that the Ambulance attended and of course your sons name. This information can be sent to sas.feedback@nhs.scot for the team to pick up. If you do decide to do this, would you be so kind as to make reference to your CareOpinion username so that the team can easily locate your story and share it with the crew.

I wish you all the very best and thanks again.

Kind Regards

Alan
