| After our son, Tom, was not diagnosed at Warrington hospital we rushed to Alder hey who were fantastic! Triage had us rushed into A&E to be greeted by Dr Grice who was astounding and could see right away all wasnt right! We were rushed to scan then ct then my son was sent into theatre...we were so afraid but all the staff made us feel like they were totally in control and the best was being done for him. After the op he went to K3 and met our nurse Lesley who took such good care all night...ALL the nurses go beyond expectations. Catherine, Jane, Kay, Laura, and amazing Sheila (she can help with anything!)..Vicky our student too...so attentive and they all seemed to know what we needed before we asked!! I know Ive missed a lot of you please forgive me! I have to say a special thanks to Mr Turnock the surgeon, the lovely anaesthetists, and Tachy(sp) my lovely friend who gave me the result of Tom's biopsy on Friday...he is all clear. I dont know where we would have been without you all and I thank you from the bottom of my heart xx |

| Alder Hey after being in since he was just one day old and receiving life saving surgery. He stayed in various parts of the hospital souch as the Intensive Care Unit and Neonatal Unit. We could not of asked for a better place for him to stay, or a better group of staff to help him become well enough for his return home just two days ago. Of course this was a very emotional and mentally draining time for my family, however the staff at Alder Hey made the situation much easier for us. The hospital building itself is amazing and the work the staff do is incredible. My nephew is now home safe and well and it is with thanks to all of the staff at Alder Hey, I cannot thank you all enough. My nephew will return in a few months time for his second operation, however after the treatment we received and the kindness of the staff we are much more confident with his stay in hospital. On behalf of my family I would like to say an enormous Thankyou to everybody who cared for my nephew during his stay at Alder Hey. We cannot Thank you enough, you saved his life which is more to us than we can express. You are all heroes! Many thanks and best wishes. Rachel |

| On Saturday I made one of many visits to Alder Hey A and E dept. Having 4 active children we tend to see a lot of the place. One year ago to the day, my son Jake broke his knee cap and had nearly 7 months of treatment. So on returning with another injury to the same knee I was understandably anxious. The staff were as ever fantastic - from the receptionist who was so pleasant and helpful, the triage nurse who dealt quickly with him and the wonderful Consultant Dr Grice who was thorough and thoughtful and extremely competent. We're not sure what the outcome is yet, as its a bit early to say but I wanted to thank you all for your care and outstanding treatment of Jake in the instance but also on the many other occasions we have visited with our other children. I also want to say how grateful I am for the way you deal so well with parents, providing information and answering all manner of questions and worries. | |

| Our Daughter Chloe was transferred to Alder Hey's intensive care unit in April 2009 after two other hospitals failed to diagnose her illness. Our beautiful daughter was diagnosed with Transverse Myelitis and ADEM, an infection that caused her lungs to collapse and caused paralysis from the rib cage to her toes. Chloe's outlook did not look good we were told to expect that she would be in a wheelchair and have possible learning difficulties due to the ADEM infection on her brain. Nearly 3 years on Chloe is doing fantastic she is taking her SATS next year and is expected to get a score for a child 2 years older, her mobility is amazing and she has learnt extremely fast how to deal with the internal issues left by the infection. Chloe's recovery is partly because she is an extremely determined little girl that pushes herself to the extreme but mainly due to the AMAZING people at the hospital. Dr Steve Kerr and all of the nurses in ICU, Dr Spinty and the nurses in Neuromedical. Paul, Sara and Dave from the Physio Dept and Miss McAndrew and Sarah Doyle from Urology. Without these people and many more our Daughter would not be the inspiration that she is today. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts for the past care and the ongoing care that Chloe is receiving. |

| I would like to pass on my thanks to the staff at Alder Hey who made our 1st visit there yesterday a good experience. The staff we met were faultless, everyone we met were pleasant and helpful, from the 1st point at reception @ the main entrance, to the team at Gamma camera (xray). We were even taken to cardio, by a lovely young lady, from reception so our daughter could play in the play area for a couple of hours. And were ever we where, staff asked if we were ok and being seen too. Even the staff in the cafe where friendly and happy. This made such a difference to our day there, keep up the good work and thanks again. | |

| It's been 5 years since my last appointment at Alder Hey hospital. Thanks to the dedication of the Doctors and nurses at Alder Hey I have remained well enough to reach the third year of my degree without relapse of my Crohns and achieve things I never considered possible, whilst remaining stoma free. I would once again like to thank the late Dr Dave Casson who gave me hope when I truly was at wits end and never failed to bring a smile in times of tears. Dr Colin Baillie and Shiban Ahmed for their surgical skill and work of art on my abdomen and to sister Maureen from K3 for rebuilding a 15 year old girls confidence and who’s kind smile I shall never forget. Thank you once again, with love and fond memories. Jenny Shimmin and family.xxxx |

| Mr. Conor Mallucci and his Neurosurgical team gave my daughter life saving surgery that has changed her and her families lives. We came to Alder Hey a year ago, my daughter Shannon Hall had been diagnosed with a terminal brain tumour in 2006, initial surgery and treatments seemed to halt the growth until last year when it had progressed to a point that we had been told it was no longer viable to treat further. Fortunately Mr Mallucci disagreed and offered us an opportunity for surgery and things went well resulting in us all being grateful that we had contacted him and Shannon is now doing well. The tumour is still there and can never be removed and although she has lost an aweful lot it is thanks to the fantastic team and the incredible work they do that improves so many lives that Shannon is here today. I can't thank you enough. | |

| I would like to thank the hundreds of people over the many different wards and units who have treated me over the last 19 years. It will be very sad when I have to be discharged from Alder Hey altogether and move onto the adult hospitals. There are too many names to mention but a big thank you to those past and present in E2 who have helped me turn into the person I am today and also a huge thank you to Fund Raising for giving me countless wonderful experiences which I feel very lucky to have been able to take part in. I know that other children who will attend Alder Hey will be in the safest and most capable hands possible. Also a mention to Moya Sutton who has also given me many good times at Alder Hey. | |

Yesterday not only did they assist us with my daughter's first anaphylactic reaction, but we were dealt with swiftly and incredibly sympathetically at a busy time. We were kept informed on my daughter's progress at every stage and for that I am in your debt. Please pass on my comments and thanks, Regards Helen Colebourn |

| Just to say thank you so much for the wonderful way in which everything was organised for Tom's MR scan under g.a. last Monday, 17th January. We had asked for his teeth to be done while he was under g.a. On arrival at the hospital, we had the usual fantastic welcome on K2, then everything clicked into place and Tom was scanned, had his teeth seen to, he (and we!) were so well looked after (as ever) and all done and dusted by teatime, ready to go home. Thanks to everyone who played a part in this smooth operation!....Sue in Cardiology, Sister and ward staff on K2, MR department, dental department and anaesthetists It's so reassuring, especially in such a large hospital, to see such good communication between departments - you're amazing!! | |
