About: Borders General Hospital / Accident & Emergency Borders General Hospital / Trauma & orthopaedics (Ward 9)

(as the patient),

I sustained an injury during Hawick triathlon, this month. This resulted in surgery to fix a broken elbow at Borders General Hospital.

I have nothing but praise for the exceptional service and care that received from the staff there. I really cannot thank them all enough

Flora the staff nurse who looked after me in A&E was efficient, caring and supportive, thank you

X-ray department were swift and efficient

Ward 9 staff were amazing, fantastic care on a very very busy unit, massive thanks

Theatre team also amazing especially after a really long and busy day for them

Thanks again to all the staff, a job very well done you should be very proud of yourselves

Dear Lindsayt,

Thank you so much for taking the time to tell us about your positive experience in the Borders General Hospital. I'm so sorry that your triathalon ended in such a way especially knowing the training and effort that goes hand in hand with such events! I'm glad that you had a smooth transition through your hospital experience and that you felt reassured by our staff. I hope that you are now on the road to recovery and that you will be back swimming, cycling and running very soon!

Best wishes,

Lynn
