About: Royal Blackburn Hospital / Trauma and orthopaedics

I was treated at Blackburn following a fall down stairs in Edinburgh. Yes I waited around for a while, but the care and empathy I received was second to none. Everything about my injury (broken collar bone and broken ribs) was explained to me, along with how to manage my medication and recovery. I think people need to bear in mind that this is an organisation that is swimming against the tide - and it is still the best in the world!
