I brought my 21 years old son in tonight. He has a chromosome deletion with associated autism and severe learning difficulties. During a meltdown he had banged his head, causing himself an injury.
Both the male and female nurses who examined and treated him at a & e were brilliant. They spoke to my son in an appropriate manner, explained what they were doing, and were very thorough in checking him over.
Their manner, professionalism, and expertise helped so much, in what was a stressful and possibly volatile situation.
They both seemed very aware of how to treat a patient such as my son, who can be very challenging.
Unfortunately I can't remember their names, but I would like to thank them so much. Both were great, and they deserve recognition. Thank you.
