The patient took to care opinion to express their gratitude to ED staff involved in their treatment.

“They attended to me straight away, made me feel so well looked after and were so caring.

“Their hard work and dedication didn’t go unnoticed,” the patient said.

Emergency Department Nurse Shannon said the team were thrilled with the feedback received.

“Providing care to a variety of patients and medical conditions keeps us thinking on our feet and ensures our skills are constantly challenged.”
