"Very helpful receptionionist at atrium children’s hospital"

About: Royal Hospital for Children (Glasgow)

(as a volunteer/advocate),

I am a volunteer guide within the QEUH.  At the end of August while on duty I was approached by a mum with a young child looking for Children’s A&E. I was taking them along the link corridor when the child said he felt sick and Mum was attempting to carry him.

I sat them down and ran into the children’s atrium. I asked a couple of people for a wheelchair but no help. I then approached the receptionist at the front desk,  I think her name was Jane.  I explained the situation and within seconds I had a chair , sick bowl and paper towels.

I took them to the mum and the  little boy was delighted to get taken in the chair  by his mum.

I then showed them where A&E was, mum was so grateful. I spoke to my own manager and she suggested I put this on. 

I am so grateful to this brilliant lady at reception for being so kind an helpful..

My manager asked me to give my story . Thankyou!  I just want this lady to know mum was so grateful and so was I.

Dear Kilmarie,

Thank you for your posting on Care Opinion on the help you received from the receptionist in RHC. I will make sure she is aware of your lovely comments and how grateful you and the mum were for her support when the little boy was sick, I am sure she will be delighted by your response.

Thank you for looking after this mum and her little boy in getting to the Emergency Department, I hope he is ok and doing well. This is a wee reminder to us of the great work and support you and your team give to our patients and families within RHC, our thanks and appreciation also to you, for supporting this family.

Kind Regards

Mandy
