The Trauma and Orthopaedic department would like to express their apologies to you for your poor experience after injuring your ankle recently.

We take patients personal details and data seriously and we are very sorry that an out of date contact was called regarding your care. It is important that we hold the correct contact information for patients, and there are a variety of entry points to the Trust where personal information is checked and updated accordingly with patients, and is rechecked at further follow up visits to the Trust. As a directorate the management team will be sure to discuss the importance of maintaining patient information, and reiterate when this should be done to their front line staff.
