Having injured my ankle at home and aware I had probably fractured it I attended the unit and was greeted by a friendly receptionist. I was told there was a 3 hour wait but was seen quickly for assessment and given pain relief and then asked to wait for X-ray. This was done quickly and efficiently and then after about another hour I was seen and informed I had fractured my ankle. I was given appropriate advice, crutches and a fracture clinic appt.
I was shown respect at all times by thoroughly professional staff . Thank you.
