"Excellent service at Wishaw"

About: NHS 24 / NHS 24 (111 service) University Hospital Wishaw / Emergency Department

(as a parent/guardian),

My child fell last night and injured their ankle.  Great advice from NHS 24 both last night and this morning.  Waited 2 hours at Wishaw to be seen by Minor Injuries, exceeding our expectations given the current pressures on the service.  Attending staff member, Michelle, was brilliant; very soft, caring and kind approach which instantly put them at ease.  Please pass on our thanks

Dear mw1983,

Thank you for taking the time to share your recent experience of our Emergency Department and hope that your child is recovering well from their injury.

I am delighted that you had a positive experience and will be happy to share your comments with Michelle, who I agree, has a soft, caring and kind approach and glad she was able to settle your child.

Kind regards,

Julie.
