"2 year old with broken leg"

About: Royal Blackburn Hospital / Accident and emergency

We are not long Home from an 8am trip to A&E with my nearly 2 year old and I can honestly not speak highly enough of the care and attention that we received. From the front desk, to the triage nurse, Doctor, x-ray and nurse who put the plaster on him each one of them dealt with a very upset baby and worried older brother with a tenderness and smile on their faces that put us all at ease. We had minimal waiting time and each step was processed as quickly as possible.

All and all a worrying and upset time was turned into a very positive experience, which was topped off by the two lovely paramedics outside who left my boys sit in the ambulance and turn on the blue lights. Keep up your amazing work
