"Paeds Neurosurgery/PICU/Nicholls Ward -…"

Unfortunately we are regular visitors to St Georges. My daughter has just had her 2nd Spinal Op (1st one Jan19). My daughter is very anxious and a little traumatised by previous medical intervention (not at at StGs). The Surgeons and specialist spinal nurse that treat her are always compassionate, empathetic and explain things clearly without frightening her. As upsetting as it is watching your child go into theatre for spinal surgery, both times I have always felt confident that she is in the safest of hands with a highly skilled team.

We have been in PICU both times after surgery for one or two nights, not from complications but to make sure that she is stable before going to the ward and the team in PICU have been amazing. They are so very caring and do there upmost to make sure that your child is as comfortable as they can be. Also making sure that you are ok to, they get a 10 out of 10 :)

Moving onto the Nicholls ward, again you cannot fault the care we've received. Every nurse that has looked after my daughter has been fantastic and taken the extra time with her when needed due to her anxiety, they also get 10 out of 10!

My daughter still has one more operation to go but as scared as she is, she knows that the whole team of people that look after her will make a scary and horrible time for her that little bit better.

As always we are forever grateful to the NHS and the team at St Georges for looking after my daughter, so thank you.
