I accidentally cut my foot recently. A call to 111 led me to being sent to Arbroath Infirmary minor injuries unit. I was called by the lovely Kirsty, who gave me an appointment time.
On my arrival I was seen straight away and assessed. Given paper stitches and instructions on how to care for the wound over the next week.
Kirsty was absolutely fantastic, and gentle with what was sore wound.
In the end my appointment lasted 15mins and I was back home in half an hour.
Just goes to show that the 111 service truly works. Instead of rocking up at A&E and having to wait 4 hours, I was able to wait for 2 hours in the comfort of my own home.
Thanks again Kirsty!
"The service truly works"
