I called NHS24 about a badly infected elbow and from start to finish I can’t fault and wish to praise the friendly, helpful and excellent care I was given. The initial call to NHS24 warned me I would get an appointment within 4 hours however 10 minutes later I was given an appointment and travelled an hour to be seen (the joys of living in a rural location at the boundary of two local authorities). On arriving in Hamilton friendly faces greeted me, drugs were prescribed, wounds washed and dressed, instructions given as what to do next day and off home we went relieved that all was well.
