After a choking episode at home we called NHS24 for further advise about attending A&E with our 9 month old. NHS24 sent an ambulance to take us to A&E.
The ambulance crew were very kind and helped put us at ease. I believe they were from the Inverurie station.
At A&E we were looked after by student nurses and doctors who assessed and observed our little boy. We were referred to ENT who felt the best course was to be observed overnight in the surgical ward.
When taken up to the surgical ward at 8pm we were greeted by the night staff. Staff nurse Gemma and student nurse Erin who were looking after us were very supportive and welcoming. The girls made sure my little boy had some dinner and I a coffee as we had not had anything since lunchtime.
A big heartfelt thank you to all the staff on surgical ward, student nurses in A&E, ambulance crew and ENT team.
"Excellent care during an overnight stay"
