My 11 year old daughter was sent for a blood test in May. She has only ever had one before, last year and she had been left with a sore arm & significant bruise. She was nervous about attending. We went to the treatment room of Ballymoney Health Centre. We had the most wonderful member of staff, a healthcare assistant (in a stripey tunic) called Mandy who was outstanding. She chatted to my daughter, completed the blood test, (she felt nothing) used the butterfly and there is not a mark on her arm. Mandy was so natural and put her at ease and gave her sweets afterwards. I wish more members of HSC staff were as professional, kind and talented as Mandy.
