I had a fall and got a fracture.

(as the patient),

I fell and badly hurt my hand. I went to A and E in Kilmarnock. The trauma nurse I saw was excellent, very reassuring and I professional. I had an X-ray and two days later had an operation to sew the tendon back to my thumb.

Dear Euphemia,

Ouch! That sounds like a sore one! I suspect you saw one of our Emergency Nurse Practitioners (ENPs) who are experts at treating injuries such as yours. I am pleased that you had such a good experience in our department and with your subsequent operation.

I will pass on your feedback to the wider Team. If you would like your comments to be passed directly to the member of staff who treated you then please get in touch with your name and date of birth. My email address is Claire.Gilroy@nhs.net

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. I wish you a speedy recovery.

Claire
