Nurse has been an angel for us

Posted By Angela2025

"Nurse has been an angel for us"

About: Royal Belfast Hospital for Sick children / Emergency Department

(as a parent/guardian),

Came with my 5-year-old daughter hospitalized at the Royal Hospital, I don't speak English but nurses have been very friendly. The doctors have helped me and had patience but above all I want to thank and express the good job that Nurse Marian has done with a lot of love and professionalism. She has also spoken Spanish with my daughter and that has made her feel happy and that she can accept her medicines, she has been an angel for us.

Thank you so much for sharing your kind feedback about your experience at the Royal Belfast Hospital for Sick Children. We’re delighted to hear that our nurses and doctors made you and your daughter feel supported and cared for during her stay.

Your lovely words about Nurse Marian are especially appreciated — it’s wonderful to know that her kindness, professionalism, and ability to speak with your daughter in Spanish helped make her feel more comfortable and reassured while receiving her medicines.

I would love to make sure your thanks are passed directly to Nurse Marian and the team involved in your daughter’s care. If you are able to let us know which ward your daughter was on, we can ensure your message reaches the right staff.

Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience — it means a great deal to our teams.
