"I had a swollen ankle"

About: Adamson Hospital / Minor Injuries Unit

(as a service user),

I originally went over on my ankle and spent the rest of the evening elevating it and using frozen peas. The following morning my ankle felt worse and so my partner and I went to Adamson hospital.

We arrived at five to ten and left at half eleven. The care was first class! I was assessed by Jane ANP and Elaine? The HCSW they listened to what happened and Jane assessed thankfully not broken but a xray to confirm. I didn’t get the x ray tech and hcsw names but they were flawless.

I was then seen again by Jane and Elaine to go over the results of the x ray and advice on what to do regarding resting and work. As a health care professional I can honestly say all involved did a great job! Also shout out to the receptionists at Adamson for their friendliness.

Good Morning Polarisce97

Thank you for the positive feedback you have provided to the team at Adamson Hospital.

I will share this lovely story with the team who I am sure will be delighted!

It can be quite different being "on the other side" of healthcare when you are a healthcare professional yourself, so I'm glad it was a positive experience and appreciate you taking the time to share this.

I hope you are on the mend and feeling better after your ankle injury.

Wishing you all the best

Fran
