My daughter was on the medical daypatient ward having bloods taken. She is autistic and has sensory issues and anxiety. She was so worried about the procedure. The nurses on the ward were so kind and compassionate. They put her at ease, they spoke to her so she understood what was happening at every stage, they took it slowly at her pace. She managed for the first time to have her blood taken which was totally down to the nurse. All the staff told her how well she had done and that she had been brave which made her feel so good about herself. She has got over her fear of having to come into hospital again because of the lovely staff. My daughter has been to the children’s hospital a lot and I always feel that the staff go above and beyond here
"Excellent staff "
