"Staff made the whole time less stressful"

I attended A&E at the children’s hospital after being referred by my GP with my 8 week old baby. He was vomiting and struggling with a cough. We were quickly triaged by a friendly nurse and seen in majors by a great female doctor who really listened to me and did a thorough check of my baby. 

We were sent to the CDU for further monitoring. ANP Suzie (or possible Sue!) was excellent and explained exactly what the concern was, what was being monitored and possible treatment. Student nurse Claire looked after us and was very friendly and helpful answering any questions. 

We were admitted to ward 2C where my little boy had a feeding tube inserted by nurse Lauren - Lauren is a fantastic nurse and made the experience so much less worrying by explaining what was happening and checking in on us.

We were looked after during the day on both days we were in by Angela. Angela was also fantastic, she was always exactly on time with my little boys feeds and you could tell she really cared. She was also very friendly which made the whole time less stressful. 

All in, every nurse, student nurse and doctor I came across was professional and helpful.
