We visited A&E after my 16 year old daughter stepped on a broken glass in her bare feet. We didn't want to chance removing is ourselves incase we couldn't stem the bleeding. The Doctor on duty was amazing explaining every step of the way what he was going to do. Before removing the glass he advised my daughter how to use the gas and air to help with the pain and what it would make her feel like. She was then sent her for an x-ray to make sure he'd removed all the glass. We were in and out within less than two hours. During our time at A&E social distancing measures were in place and everyone did a fantastic job, especially the doctor. Thank you.
"Great service in A&E"
