I was in a couple of weeks ago with my son who was wheezy.
I must say overall I was pleased with the care I received from the nurses.
The doctors were also excellent and offered my son plenty reassurance.
Thankfully we only had to stay for overnight for one night.
A few things I’d like to point out were housekeeping staff often burst into the room and came across quite rude. Our breakfast tray was also left sitting for hours after breakfast time.
I also asked if my son could access the playroom however was told this was closed. We were given some games for my son to play however once these were given in the morning, play staff never offered to swap the games around and never seemed to be present playing with children.
Would it be an idea to maybe have the play staff offering to let parents off the ward and sit with their child or have a schedule where they do arts and crafts??
It can be a very long day for both parents and children sitting all day so staff allowing parents a break would be lovely.
Overall my stay was positive and I can’t thank the nursing staff enough for helping me and my son.
"No access to playroom but overall positive"
