"Thank you for my Grandson's expert care"

About: Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust - Queen's Medical Centre Campus / Paediatric surgery Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust - Queen's Medical Centre Campus / Paediatrics

(as a relative),

Mr grandson was born with a life-threatening condition called Hirschsprung Disease in Feb 2014.

Initial problems with diagnosis and early treatment. After two-three weeks of life went under the care of Mr Daniel W Colliver, Consultant Paediatric Surgeon at NUH.

Mr Colliver's skill and expertise saved my grandson's life. Mr Colliver also showed great warmth and understanding to us and it is this kindness that helped us cope under these difficult circumstances. He was always at the end of the phone and always responded promptly to any worries that we had.

During the first 12 months my grandson was in and out of hospital on many occasions with serious problems but on each occasion Mr Colliver and his team performed miracles and my grandson managed to pull through.

When my grandson was fit enough to have his difficult corrective surgery Mr Colliver's skill was exemplary and he is now a fit and active toddler who owes his life to Mr Daniel Colliver.

What a wonderful message to receive, thank you very much for sharing this story and for highlighting how Mr Colliver has helped your grandson.

I am so pleased to hear about the service you received from us and the difference our surgeon has made. I will make sure to share this message with Mr Colliver and with the rest of the team.

If you wanted to say thank you to Mr Colliver in another way, you might consider making a nomination to our staff awards? You can nominate through our website: http://www.nuh.nhs.uk/nuhonours/submit-your-nomination/ - the right category for you would be Family Health.

My warmest regards to you and your grandson,

Dorothy Bean
