Starship Play Service Ward 24A & 24B

“My 7 years old boy was dehydrated and throwing up for 16 hours, had to wait for 7 hours to see a doctor, the nurses were very supportive and trying to do their best, but they have limitations in the existing process eventhough they have the capacity. Unfortunately I had to raise the voice to get a doctor, because it was very late then the existing condition was expanded to the next level. Overall they have all the resources except doctors.”

“Had a crash and broke all my legs. They got Jimmy Barnes in to sing me a song which helped. Haven't been back since because I'm too old. They were great, but would rather stay out of hospital tbh.”

“We cannot fault the treatment our son received at Starship any of the times we’ve visited. Our concerns and his wellbeing were always taken incredibly seriously. The doctors, nurses and even triage staff at reception deserve so much more recognition for the outstanding work they do.”

“It was amazing stay my son and I stayed Friday till Sunday ward 25 room 30 the nurses and doctors were honestly lovely, caring and just amazing care provided. Tho I want to give the rescue helicopters a massive thank you we had the helicopters view right outside our window my son is a very active 6 yr old child outdoor so being in hospital over the weekend he was very bored but helicopters arriving and departure was his entertainment these rescue helicopters would fly to our level turn it nose towards us and then to it side and start waving and slowly goes up and takes off not once it was always just the hard, busy and amazing work they do in this country and still have time to acknowledge, entertain all these kids here in starship looking out there windows in there beds or at the window just a wave and small things like this gives these kids in here a massive smile and something to talk about to our families that visits. Thank you to rescue helicopters really appreciate yous all🫶🫶🫶”

“A huge thank you to the amazing team at Starship Hospital for taking such good care of my daughter during her recent appendectomy. From the moment we arrived at the Emergency Department on Sunday, 20th April, we were met with kindness, professionalism, and genuine care. Special thanks to the wonderful nurses and doctors in Ward 24A as well as the surgical team to the recovery team in theatre who made a stressful time so much easier. Every staff member we encountered was warm, attentive, and supportive throughout our stay until the 23rd. A very special shoutout to Nurse Lily Ravel—your compassion and care truly stood out, and we’re so grateful for everything you did for Sitarah. To all the nurses who helped her in Ward 24A: you absolutely rock! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.”
