On Saturday 27th October I had a bad fall and injured my face. The next day I attended Dewsbury A & E as I was concerned over the injury. I was initially assessed within 20 minutes and then seen by a doctor and then treated by a nurse. Due to the location of the injury I was distressed over the likely outcome of the injury and was thoroughly checked out. During the time I found the staff reassuring and considerate. The next day my face was swollen and bruised and due to these distressing changes I attended again. Again I found the nurse very reassuring as he explained the processes taking and what I could do to reduce the swelling. I was then seen by a doctor who was very understanding and prescribed an antibiotic cream which gave me peace of mind that the wounds would not become infected. I also am convinced this helped the healing process. I am now much recovered from the injury. I would like to register my thanks and gratitude to the staff at Dewsbury for their kindness and care. Best wishes Liz
