Had to take my 13 year old son to children's A& E following a fall from his bike with a suspected broken arm. He had a bump to his head (not wearing a helmet! ! ! ! ) and a black eye. Triage nurse Nikki was lovely and made sure my son got some painkillers. Was soon sent to Xray (lovely radiographer whose name I cant remember) then was assessed by David one of the doctors. He explained everything really well to us all and confirmed that it was a broken arm. David wanted to make sure no after effects due to head injury. A lovely nurse called Anna applied the cast and another lovely nurse ensured my son had something to eat before going home. Thank you all for making a stressful experience a little easier and the staff's care and attention was exemplary in a busy area. My son now proudly showing off his cast and will be wearing his helmet in future!
