My wife gave birth at GEH one week ago today. 2.5hrs after birth our baby girl stopped breathing and I raised the alarm & we have been under the care of the staff here ever since. The level of care we have received has been absolutely incredible. We have both been absolutely blown away and humbled by the truly amazing staff who work here. These are some of the most caring, compassionate and thoroughly professional and skilled human beings I have had the great pleasure to meet (albeit under difficult circumstances). I’d like to make a special mention to nurse Lisa Gibson who I feel has gone above and beyond her normal call of duty. From the very start of our difficult journey as new parents she has kept us informed and cared for in a compassionate and caring way that is (in my experience) unparalleled. Most recently my wife has been inconsolably upset overnight feeling alone when my visiting hours were up and struggling with feeding. Lisa noticed that she was visibly exhausted and struggling and helped care for our daughter to help my wife get some desperately needed sleep. She has helped and supported my wife both physically and mentally in a way we could never have anticipated, even calling Leicester Royal Infirmary to check on our daughters progress when we were there for 2 days on the Neonatal unit. I hope this fantastic lady gets the recognition in the workplace she unequivocally deserves. All of the staff on the SCU, maternity ward and labour suite are incredible human beings and wonderful people that makes me truly proud of our NHS. Thank you all so much, we are and always will be eternally grateful for all that you have done for us.
