"The whole team were wonderful"

About: North Devon District Hospital / Paediatrics

(as a service user),

He was admitted with appendicitis recently. The entire process has been smooth sailing. Been in hospital for 42 hours and every single member of the team we have come across and that is probably 20 people have been truly wonderful.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your lovely feedback about your Sons recent admission for appendicitis.

I’m so pleased to hear that your experience was smooth and that every member of our team helped make your stay as positive as possible, even with so many different staff involved in his care. We work closely across the multidisciplinary team to ensure consistent, compassionate, and family-centred care for every child.

I’ll make sure your kind words are shared with the team on Caroline Thorpe Ward

Wishing your Son a continued recovery and all the very best for the future.
