Having cut myself on a saw blade, we went to Burnham on Sea Minor Injuries Department, was greeted with empathy and understanding, After a 2 minute wait I was taken into a treatment room, where it was decided by Teresa and her colleague that I would require stiches.
Teresa was so caring, Understanding and made me feel so safe and comfortable.
Teresa stitched my wound all the time checking I was ok, Her colleague also showed great empathy and care, I have never in all my years (Which are many) had such a great team who got me back out feeling as thought I had the best treatment possible. Thanks again Teresa.
