Child bloods

Posted By asteropetq49

"Child bloods"

About: Dr Gray's Hospital / Paediatric Unit

(as a parent/guardian),

My son attended the children's ward to have bloods taken.

Throughout his short admission he was extremely well taken care of and the team were very good with distracting him and trying to create a positive experience for him during a fairly traumatic procedure for a young child.

Special thanks to Dr Jumana and Dr Ana and Laura who were very kind and professional.

Thank you to the nurses on the ward for their care and positive attitude which made us feel at ease.

We really appreciated the play room and he even got a small toy at the end for being so brave.

Dear asteropetq49

Thank you very much for taking the time to leave feedback following your son's attendance to have bloods taken at the children's ward.

It is lovely to read that the staff have made a positive difference to yours and your son's experience as they work really hard to reduce the impact procedures have on children.

I will pass on your kind words to the team.
