Treatment after a fall

Story from nhs.uk

"Treatment after a fall"

About: North Tyneside General Hospital

After a fall in May I attended the Urgent care and although wait was nearly 4 hours once I was seen by the Nurse practitioner I was ex-rayed and given a splint. Next day received a call from Cramlington after x-rays had been assessed to say there were 2 breaks in my wrist.

I later had a scan and saw 2 doctors on different days. Treatment was very good and I was more than happy with how I was dealt with.

Splint is now off and next stage physio.

Well done to all in Urgent Care and Fracture Clinic
