Having done damage to my hand in a cycling accident, I couldn't have been more impressed by the quality of service I received at the Royal free, having been sent there by another hospital's A&E.
I was seen promptly with scarcely any wait by a multi-disciplinary team, all of whom contributed to the assessment process, drawing upon their different experience and views.
They came together to a treatment plan, which included expert cleaning and dressing of my wound, antibiotics, and an immediate referral for hand therapy, where I received excellent advice about how to keep my hand active during the healing process.
When I returned for follow-up with concerns about my other hand, the team once more fitted me in to conduct an assessment including x-rays, setting my mind at rest, and once more sent me off to the hand therapy team for advice about protecting and exercising this hand.
Who could ask for more!
"A very impressive service in plastics and hand..."
