Thanks for getting in touch.

It sounds like the right decision to bring your son to the Emergency Department and I’m relieved to hear we were able to find the cause of his pain and operate quickly.

We wish him all the best. I’ve shared your kind words with staff in our Children’s Emergency Department.

Kind regards

Jane Newton

Matron, Emergency Department
