Accident while away from home

"Accident while away from home"

About: University Hospital Hairmyres / Emergency Department

(as the patient),

while working away from home I suffered mouth injury, I had to park a 44 ton truck ouside hairmyres a&e, I was seen promptly and politely and treated in a friendly atmosphere, so feeling rather numb and 11 stitches later I didnt even have a parking ticket, it was almost worth the injury to be treated by the staff in a&e, thanks for your effort and expertise,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with the Trust.

How awful for you that you had an accident whilst working away from home, but, I am very pleased that you had such a positive experience of care.

Can I ask about your mention of Hairmyres A&E?

I know this hospitals location is East Kilbride, Scotland, and you have left this review for West Cumberland Hospital, Whitehaven, Cumbria.

Regardless of the location thank you for giving NHS staff this lovely feedback, it means a great deal to know that you appreciated your care.

With best wishes,

i live in west cumbria but work nationwide, hairmyres was the nearest i could park, others had low bridges or height barriers, and as i clicked my address the computer assumed that was my location, technology HA! i still use paper maps.
