"Gastrostomy Nurses"

About: Royal Belfast Hospital for Sick children / Paediatric Surgery

(as a parent/guardian),

I would just like to pass on my heartfelt thank you to Jenna who has been an absolute angel from we first met her 3 years ago.  Jenna is kind, compassionate, caring and an Excellent role model for other health care professionals. She has been a huge support to our family in managing our son’s troublesome gastrostomy over the last few years. Gastrostomies unfortunately come with there problems which Jenna has been incredible at helping us with.  I have now met Andrea, one of the new gastrostomy nurses who if she is half as good a nurse as Jenna - she will be amazing! Thank you both to Jenna and Andrea for the amazing care, support and respect you give to your patients daily and also to us as families.  We would be lost without this service and these incredible nurses.

Dear Crmlm101,


My name is Trish McKinney, and I am the Co-Director for Child Health & NISTAR Division in the Belfast Trust. Thank you for taking the time to describe the care that your son has received from our gastrostomy nursing team. I am really pleased to hear about the positive impact Jenna and Andrea have made to your son and also to hear how supportive they have been to you and your family. It is really lovely feedback for this small but very crucial team and we will make sure that Jenna and Andrea hear your encouraging words of support and recognition for the work that they do.

Once again, thank you for taking the time to feedback.

Best wishes

Trish
