"A & E and Hand Centre"

About: Northern General Hospital

I crushed my thumb in a car door in June 2012 and needed urgent attention to deal with the matter. I must admit that the wait was long in total about 7 hours from start to finished, but my case was less urgent so I appreciate the wait and I was offered pain relief once I was triaged. The doctors and nurses were all lovely and very professional in dealing with my injury and nerves. I received excellent care and post op service.
