When my 2 year old daughter stopped breathing at night. Although I managed to get it started again I still called 999. The telephone operator was very helpful and calm and the ambulance arrived in 11minutes with two very nice paramedics who assured me I had done the right thing calling them. They took us to paediatric ED to have her fully checked out and treated. I was informed of our handover to ED team by our paramedic before they left, so I knew exactly what was happening. The ED nurse came and introduced themself and reviewed my daughter quickly and efficiently, provisionally diagnosing her and arranging for a review and the correct medication to be provided. The doctor who then reviewed her was friendly and made her feel happy and safe. I would like to thank the team for the efficiency, smiles, laughter, orange juice (when I found that pesky water cooler) horrible medicine and bubbles.
From begining to end an excellent service. Thank you.
"Thank you Paramedics and Paediatric ED"
