My daughter's care

Posted By Detroit@1

"My daughter's care"

About: Gartnavel General Hospital / Diabetes Clinic/Centre Queen Elizabeth University Hospital Glasgow / Accident & Emergency Queen Elizabeth University Hospital Glasgow / Diabetes (Wards 5a &5b) Queen Elizabeth University Hospital Glasgow / Medical High Dependency Unit (MHDU)

(as a parent/guardian),

My daughter was rushed into Resus with DKA. She was extremely unwell on admission.

The swift action of all nurses and doctors ensured a quick diagnosis and subsequent treatment.

She was later transferred to HDU, where she received excellent care after a shock diagnosis of Type 1 Diabetes.

Our family would like to thank all staff who were involved in her care, especially Lyndsay, Kirsty , Dr Mo and  Nicola in Ward 5A.

She is now under the care of the diabetic team in Gartnavel, where she has met Alison and Christine, who will continue to provide her with the care and expertise she will require to help her adjust to this life changing condition.

Thank you

Dear Detroit@1

Thank you for taking the time to leave us such lovely feedback in regards to your experience of attending the A&E, HDU and Ward 5A of the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital with your daughter.

I was sorry to hear your daughter had to be admitted to the hospital after becoming extremely unwell. This must have been a very worrying time for you and your family.

It was however wonderful to hear how all the staff have made you both feel welcomed and comfortable while she has been in for her diagnosis.

I'm glad she is being provided with great care and expertise by the staff and they are helping her adjust to this life changing condition.

I will be sure to pass on your thanks to all the staff involved who I'm sure will be delighted to hear you have both had such a pleasant experience.

Kind regards

Kevin
