"Pre op assessment (Paediatric)"

Many thanks to the hospital staff including both the reception and paediatric nurses who conducted the pre op assessment and for being flexible with a mix up dates.

They made the experience for my daughter very relaxed and explained the procedure in easy to understand terms. All of our questions were answered expertly and demonstrated the process of administering the anesthetic both with the video and a test of the numbing hand cream / spare canula.

We were also shown around the hospital ward and introduced to various members of staff which alleviated the anxiety of the procedure.

The literature provided was also very helpful along with the follow up emails for access to the children's video and information links which I received shortly after leaving the appointment.

All in all a very professional assessment targeted at the right level and delivered by involving the patient ensured any stress or anxieties were relieved very quickly. No hesitation in recommending the services from of the hospital staff.

Once again many thanks.

Thanks for the great review that I have shared with the Children’s Team so they know their approach with your daughter hit the spot.

It’s all part of trying to make it less scary for youngsters coming in for a procedure and seeing a few friendly faces on the day that they have seen before.

We are all made aware which children we have in the hospital each day so any one of us can smile and wave when we see them going around the building.

Kind regards

Chris Harrison

Hospital Director
