"Achilles tendon treatment"

About: Forth Valley Royal Hospital / National Treatment Centre Forth Valley Royal Hospital National Treatment Centre FK5 4WR

Posted by The Bearded One (as the patient), last month

I've been attending the Orthopedic/Plaster room weekly since August. The visits became necessary due to developing a pressure sore on my heel pad.
At every stage I have been treated with respect, dignity and professionalism by all the staff.
Unfortunately I can't remember all the individual names apart from Maggie, Karen and Nicole.
As for any improvement to the service,all I can suggest is for the management to tell staff how much they are appreciated and pay them accordingly. So says "The bearded one"
