My daughter was recently at the Victoria hospital in Kirkcaldy to have her tonsils removed. She was so well looked after by Amanda, the play therapist, the nurses, the anaesthetists & the surgeon. She was a little bit anxious as it was her first time in hospital, the play area was great & lots of different things to choose from, to do. She was delighted with her little present when she left. Thank you Amanda & all the staff for being so friendly & putting my daughter at ease

Dear Kerry girl,
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback,. We're delighted to hear that your daughter had such a positive experience during her visit to Victoria Hospital. Amanda and the whole team will be thrilled to know they helped make her first hospital stay a little less daunting. It's wonderful to hear the play area and the little gift made her smile — we always aim to create a comforting and supportive environment for our young patients. Wishing your daughter a smooth recovery.
Warm regards,
