"Outstanding care"

About: North Devon District Hospital / Accident and emergency

Last weekend a fall on a beach left me with a nasty break to my wrist. I was assessed very swiftly in A&E and things moved very quickly indeed. I can honestly say every member of staff i encountered was both professional and caring and i felt in very safe hands and i would like to thank them all.! A special thank you to the surgeon who put everything back together and came back to visit me on the ward the next morning to show me my before and after xrays before i was discharged. Not quite where i expected to be on my weekend in Dorset but i can't fault my care at Barnstaple. Thank you all.

Dear Katie


I was sorry to learn you broke your wrist whilst on holiday in the South West, but very pleased to read your very positive comments.

I have forwarded on your feedback to both the Emergency Department and Orthopaedic Service Managers where they will be shared with the relevant staff.

I hope your wrist is mending and that you have a trouble free visit to the area when you next visit.

Kind regards
