Short Stay @ paediatric ward

Posted By chachart83

"Short Stay @ paediatric ward"

About: Craigavon Area Hospital / Blossom Ward (Paediatrics)

(as a parent/guardian),

I attended Short Stay in the Blossom ward (children’s) with my baby daughter who had bronchitis early in November.  We got this lovely male doctor, he was so good with my daughter, he had a lovely bedside manner. Big shout out to the nurse Danielle who was lovely too and made myself and my daughter feel very welcomed! 

I then had to attend Short Stay Blossom again a week later and got this lovely female doctor called Hannah, Hannah was so nice and professional she was just like a “breath of fresh air” we had a wee chat about other things relating to my daughter and my heart is still smiling!

You’re  a credit to the NHS and to your parents! Thank you 😊
