"Minor injuries treatment"

About: Addenbrooke's Hospital

We took along a 2 year old who had hit his head and had a deep cut that needed treatment. The receptionist in clinic 9 ignored us at first and then was totally disinterested. The waiting room was not full.

The procedure for what happens was unclear. It took an hours wait before we were triaged. There was no explanation of what was happening or what would happen next. All the staff we encountered except the nurse who administered pain relief were uninterested, unhelpful and gave no impression of caring.

The whole experience was totally disheartening and demoralisingly poor.

Our little boy was so well behaved and brave and the actual procedure he received was good but everything else… so very disappointing.

Good afternoon,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your recent visit to Clinic 9. I am very sorry to hear about your disappointing experience, particularly given the circumstances of your visit with a young child who had sustained a head injury. I can appreciate that this was a very stressful time.

Please contact the Patient Advice and Liaison Service on 01223 216756 or email cuh.pals@nhs.net so that we can look into your concerns in more detail and respond to you.

Once again, I am sorry to hear that you had such an upsetting time.
