"We have been lucky enough to get the same nurse"

About: Royal Hospital for Children (Glasgow) / Outpatient Department

(as a service user),

My son was scheduled to get an allergy skin pricking test and get bloods done all on the same day.

This is not our first time getting these done and each time we have been for those procedures we have been lucky enough to get the same nurse- Tracy.

She's absolutely lovely and she made my wee boy comfortable and managed to play up a game with him just to distract him enough for the tests.

She's a great nurse and her team were also amazing.

Hello Boy's ma

As the Senior Charge of the Outpatients Department. I would like to thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback with us. I’m delighted to hear that your son’s experience during his allergy testing and blood work was such a positive one.

Tracy is indeed a valued member of our team, and it’s wonderful to know that her caring approach and ability to make children feel comfortable made such a difference for your wee boy. I will make sure your kind words are passed on to Tracy and the rest of the team, they will be thrilled to hear this.

We always strive to provide a supportive and reassuring environment for our patients and their families, and feedback like yours reinforces the importance of the work we do.

Thank you again for sharing your experience. If there’s anything further we can do to support you or your son, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Kind Regards
