"My sons treatment for a broken finger"

My son arrived home from football training with a very swollen hand and I worried I would get him treatment as it was late in the evening and in my experience Craigavon A & E can be a nightmare and that due to COVID-19 Daisy Hill A & E is closed.

I rang South Tyrone hoping for some help and couldn’t have been more pleased with the treatment. The girl I spoke to took a description of the injury and said they would be able to X-ray up but to try to to the hospital before it closed at 8. 30pm. This was brilliant as football training is in the evening an if hadn’t been open until this time I could well have spent several hours in Craigavon with a frightened son.

The care and attention we received in South Tyrone was excellent. The team were extremely efficient and we were in and out within the hour. This service in South Tyrone is invaluable for those with minor injuries instead of having to make the trip to Craigavon to sit for hours and where, no doubt my child would have been overwhelmed and probably frightened. Thank you so much to the staff in South Tyrone.
