Emily Doon, from Lochwinnoch, has struggled with bowel and bladder issues since birth which has forced her to undergo many complex surgeries and treatments.
It has left the eight-year-old suffering high levels of stress, but her fears were reduced at the Royal Hospital for Children in Glasgow after being introduced to the play team. It allowed staff to play a key role in helping Emily learn more about medical procedures while helping to ease her concerns and comfort her.Emily’s mum Julie said: “Emily first met the play team when she was four and interactions with them have been the key to the success of most of the things that Emily has been able to achieve.
“When she first came to the hospital she was very nervous about what the experience would be like and was a bit scared of what would happen.“We use them both before appointments for preparation and after to allow her a pressure-free space to relax.“They talk me through different ways I can help Emily and help me to think outside the box when things are tough.
“They are also so incredibly easy to talk to and can make the most difficult days better just by listening and chatting.“They have also worked with Emily’s sister on occasions when she has been at the hospital with her to ensure she doesn't feel left out and that she understands what is happening with Emily as well.”
