I received treatment for a running injury

"I received treatment for a running injury"

About: HMP Stocken / Primary care

(as the patient),

When I was first in prison, I found things less awkward than I expected. Second time I recognised features of the environment which made me think I could get injured.

Basically the facilities at Stocken prison offer many reliable health treatments. Overall I have trusted this entirely. It turns out that while using a running machine in the gymnasium, I acquired an injury. It felt unimportant but was more serious and it got to me.

So I went to the healthcare centre where painkillers where available and eventually they worked. Thanks to the services available this was a success.

First of all thank you for taking the time to post your comment.

I recognise that sometimes ankle injuries can deceive an individual into believing there is not a major issue.

As you have proven this is also on occasion incorrect.

I am pleased that the healthcare department met this challenge and that you are now feeling better.

In relation to finding the healthcare situation better than you expected, this is a comment we hear alot, and it appears to be borne of the experiences of some others historically.

We do strive to improve across the service as a whole, that is why we have signed up to this open forum which is meant to help us help others.

Thank you once again.
