"My sons Clubfoot care - thanks to this beautiful team"

About: Royal Aberdeen Children's Hospital / Out Patient Department

(as a service user),

I just want to say a big thank you to everyone in children’s Outpatients Orthopaedics that do the clinic every Friday for Clubfoot and so on. Roz, Andy and the team are just fantastic. My son was born with unilateral Clubfoot and the care that team has given him is by far the best care I or my son have received from any professional. Andy was amazing at the first few appointments, casting and helping me and my partner out when my son was just a week old up to 7/8 weeks old! Roz (and Sarah, I think it is - she went on matty just as we were starting treatment) have been amazing with my son. Always focused and so positive at every visit! The care he also got in surgical ward for a tenotomy - was amazing! They let a worried mum come in with 4 week old baby to see where the procedure would take place. The nurses reassured me when he was away and made me feel comfortable when I got some coffee etc! I just wanted someone to give a shout out The this fantastic team and the fantastic care they have all given to my son and his worried mama! He’s currently coming up for 2 and he’s not had any concerns or relapses thanks to this beautiful team! 

Thank you for the knowledge and the support. I will be forever grateful.

Dear Caz17


Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback following your experiences at the orthopaedic clinic and surgical ward. It sounds like you had a fairly full on first few weeks following his birth which must have been really tough for you and your family with appointments, casts and surgery but great to hear that you felt supported and reassured during this time and that he is doing so well now.

I will make sure that all services involved receive a copy of your feedback
