"Great care in ED a refreshing experience"

About: Albany Health Campus / Emergency Department

(as a parent/guardian),

After some not so great experiences in the ED in the past, I was feeling a little uneasy about bringing my toddler in to be seen, even though I knew she was definitely in need of being seen by a doctor, because she was just not right at all. 

Upon arrival the lovely nurses in triage immediately acknowledged me and came to check on my daughter, once triaged we were taken straight through to a bed, we had a lovely nurse Lexi who was so caring and compassionate and in my opinion went above and beyond to make sure both myself and my daughter were comfortable and looked after, including making this very tired Mum a coffee and getting me a sandwich to keep me going, and Dr Ashleigh was so thorough, caring and not once did she try to rush us out the door, it really made for such a positive experience. So to Lexi and Ashleigh thank you so much for giving us the best experience we have had in ED for a long time and for listening to my concerns as a parent who knew their child was not right, you both are wonderful assets to the ED team.

Dear tigerze44,

Thank you so much for your feedback about your recent visit to the ED at Albany Hospital. It’s lovely to hear that you had such a positive experience, particularly after having some not so great experiences in the past. I do hope this has gone some way to alleviating your uneasiness and given you confidence in the care you will receive when coming to the hospital in the future.

We have forwarded a link to your story on Care Opinion to Lexi and Ashleigh, as well as the ED and Hospital leadership teams.

We really appreciate that you took the time to share your experience on Care Opinion and hope that your toddler is on the road to recovery.

Best wishes

Wendy McKinley

Director Albany Health Campus
