"Check up for the kids"

About: Coral Bay Nursing Post

(as a parent/guardian),

A quick note to say many thanks to Jan, Nurse Practitioner at Coral Bay. We had been travelling for a while and still had 2-3 weeks until we would be home. Both kids had persistent symptoms that were showing no sign of improvement even after having them for 4 weeks & me trying various things. They had been tested for COVID so we knew it wasn't that. We dropped into Coral Bay and saw Jan that afternoon, more for peace of mind given we were going to be so far from medical help. Jan was immensely helpful.

She thoroughly examined each of the kids in turn and asked questions. Although there was nothing to be done in terms of medication, she gave me information and tips about how to deal with our situation and importantly provided peace of mind. Thank you Jan, they turned the corner soon after we saw you I was so very grateful to find such excellent and informative medical attention so far from home.

Dear warmqc46,

Thank you for sharing your story with us.

We have received several great stories recently from travellers, who have been very grateful for the dedication and commitment Jan has shown to their wellbeing. Her compassion and resourcefulness are a perfect fit to assist both the local residents and the travelling community.

I will be very pleased to again acknowledge Jan for her service in providing excellent care in our more remote areas.

I do hope your kids are continuing to recover and you are all enjoying the remainder of your travels through our great state.

Kind regards,

Karen Horsley
