"Excellent ophthalmology appointment"

About: The Queen Elizabeth Hospital (King's Lynn)

My 20 month year old daughter had an appointment in Opthmology and her care was excellent from start to finish . I was very anxious about her needing to have eye drops as I knew they would sting. However the nurse got my daughters trust and was very caring and reassuring when they put the eye drops in. She was then checked a few times to make sure the drops were working. Everyone who we met were absolutely fantastic with my daughter. They always said what was happening at every stage. We then saw the consultant who also explained everything in a way that my little girl knew what was happening. We had outstanding care from everyone we encountered. And they were always smiling to. This I feel made all the difference to my child as she was in a calm environment, she was happy to co-operate.

Thank you for taking the time to post your comments about your daughter’s appointment in the Ophthalmology clinic. I am very pleased to hear that all the staff did their best to reassure her and to talk to her in a way she could understand so that she was able to tolerate the investigations without getting distressed. I will share your comments with all the staff in the department and I know that they will be pleased to hear of your experience and to know that their endeavours have been appreciated.
