"Waiting a week to get dressing changed,crazy..."

After serious dog bites to both knees went to Eastham drop in clinic who did a very good job cleaning and dressing the wounds. The clinic nurse suggested I visit my GP, Great Sutton Medical Centre, after 48 hours to get a new dressing. I phoned for appointment but was told they no longer do wound dressings and all dressings are done by Stanney Lane Clinic, the Ellesmere Port Central Dressing Clinic. So I phoned to make an appointment in 48 hours time only to be told they could not change my dressing for a week, 7 days!! After questioning what use that would be I decided to return to Eastham Clinic Walk in Centre. Again they did a great job. Thank God For Eastham Clinic Walk in Centre. . Bob Holmes.

PS the Ellesmere Port Central Dressing Clinic was a waste of space unless you can give a weeks notice of your dressing change and please dont tell me it was a busy time, that does not help at all. They shouid immediately adopt the Eastham drop in centre system.
