"How radiology and physio therapy staff worked together"

About: Borders General Hospital / Physiotherapy Borders General Hospital / Radiology

(as a parent/guardian),

My newborn son was examined and a slight stiffness found in one hip. Apparently very slight, but we were sent an appointment for an ultrasound, which picked up an immaturity of his hip development. Within a week a paediatric physiotherapist visited us at home and gave us thorough, personalised advice on what we could do to help our baby's hip development. A follow-up scan found his hips to be in a normal position. 

We are so impressed with how the issue was detected and treated so quickly and efficiently, and by the very professional, helpful and friendly manner of all the staff. In particular how radiology and physio therapy staff worked together to ensure our baby got such speedy and effective treatment. Thank you!

Thank you so much for taking the time to give us this lovely feedback.

It is reassuring to hear that our paediatric hip service is working effectively.

I will forward this to all staff as a great example of teamwork.

I hope your baby continues to thrive and your sleepless nights are few!

Kind regards

Lesley
