I was referred to minor injuries in Stirling by NHS 24 following an ankle injury today. Within an hour of the referral I was phoned and an appointment assigned 1hr 30mins later.
I attended, was greeted by a volunteer who showed me where to go etc, then a lady at the desk booked me in and, despite a system problem, managed to get me seen straight away. I was initially seen by an ANP who was fantastic, sent me for an X-ray and within 15 mins I was back in a treatment room going over the X-ray. She advised me on where to go from here and made me a physio referral!
In a climate where the NHS is drastically underfunded and staff criminally underpaid, the service I received was fantastic.
