I had a fall on ice yesterday morning and injured my arm. Called 111 and had a quick response, was triaged by a nurse and spoke to a clinician. I had an appointment at my local minor injuries unit within two hours. Attended there and although there was no X ray facility on a Sunday my arm was placed in a splint and an appointment was made for an X ray this morning. I felt listened to and reassured that had I needed anything more urgently it would be available.
Seen this morning and X ray done.
