About: Forth Valley Royal Hospital / Children's Ward General practices in Forth Valley

(as a parent/guardian),

My son took unwell last week and I would like to thank everyone involved in his care throughout that time. From the GP at Graeme medical practice who saw us as an urgent appointment and who very quickly identified that he needed to be seen up at the hospital, to the nurse, student nurse, ANP, junior doctor and radiographer who treated him in the ward. Also a mention to the porters and domestics who were very friendly and kind to us. He was very upset and distressed throughout but the team did their best to keep us all calm while still being very thorough in their assessment and treatment. We also had 48 hours access to the ward which we used as we were still worried about his breathing, he was seen quickly, we felt listened to and he was treated accordingly and we were home within a couple of hours. 

Thank you so much to everyone involved, happy to say our wee boy is recovering well and is back to his happy self!

Dear casingcp33

Thank you for sharing with us your son's experience when he came unwell. I know it is always scary when I little ones are unwell and am so pleased that your wee boy was seen quickly and is back to his happy wee self.

I am delighted to read how well everything went from seeing your GP and attending the hospital. I will share your story with the Team at Graeme Medical Practice and I know the Team within the Children's Ward will be delighted to read your kind words.
