I came in to the centre with neck pain following an injury and following an examination, I was told I would need to be immobilised to prevent further injury if my neck could possibly be broken. Once my friends had left, I was on my own for 7 hours and a certain nurse made sure to check on me and be sure I was as comfortable as I could be whilst being prone in a neck brace on a trolley for that length of time. They did everything in their power yo make me comfortable and ease my concerns and fears. As a patient I am not great, I worry and get frustrated and I was treated fairly and with care the entire time by this nurse and the rest of the team that dealt with me. The day ended with it only being a neck injury, no broken bones. I am so thankful for the way that nurse treated me, especially when I got upset about not being able to move after hour 4, which soon turned into 7 hours. Thank you very much to the whole team.
"Excellent service during a difficult time"
