"Outstanding care in ward 2C Royal Hospital for Children"

My son was admitted to ward 2c in October. My husband and I were greeted by the on duty nurse Hannah and settled into the ward. Due to the nature of his admission the night was traumatic to say the least with the treatment that had to be administered. Hannah’s care, attention and outstanding bed side manner made what was a horrific night for my son, as well as, us as parents somewhat more bearable. We quickly realised we were in the best hands the NHS could provide and I simply could not leave the ward without mentioning this.

Following onto our 2nd night staff nurse Cat was looking after us was another fantastic asset to the NHS. She was extremely attentive and quickly read into the fact we had just experienced a really traumatising nightmare the night before. She was so reassuring and acted promptly when my son spiked another temperature. She also had super powers at coming into the room at night like a ninja which was greatly appreciated as both my son and I were exhausted.

Staff nurse Avril looked after us on her last couple of days before her retirement she was also very knowledgable. I would also like to mention Maxi the anesthetist who was extremely patient and went above and beyond to let my son relax in her presence by playing with him with the machinery.

Overall the care of all that passed through the ward and crossed our paths were extremely helpful and attentive and my son's first time in hospital for a stay more pleasant in what was a really traumatising time for him. Ward 2c is an extremely efficient, organised and well run ward which is solely credited to the sister and her team.
