Dr Scorrer (Tim) has been a wonderful neonatal consultant during our 5 week inpatient journey at the Portsmouth NICU. We are from Jersey and the hospital does not have the NICU facility to manage very premature babies which our baby required having been born at 27.5 weeks gestation. Our experience has been particularly fragile leaving our 6 year old in Jersey with grandparents and my husband and son going back and forth from Jersey to Portsmouth during this time. As with many premature baby pathways, you discover that every hour or day can change significantly with many lows and highs, a rollercoaster of emotions which we certainly experienced. Tim was always calm, empathetic and provided valuable time to answer our many questions. He would often even go beyond his normal consultant role to check in on our boy and ourselves when he was not even our lead consultant that day. His thorough assessments and holistic approach to care filled us with confidence that our precious boy was always in good hands. Tim’s positive yet realistic perspective was so helpful when communicating and explaining many aspects of our challenging baby’s care. Thank you Dr Tim! Sue & Guy Marks (& Harlan)
