The patient required further treatment in hospital to manipulate the break and put in a cast. - April 2021 The staff attended disability awareness training to reiterate special caution that when treating patients with complex needs they may express their emotions and pain level in different ways and that this should always be considered when requesting an x-ray. Patient felt that staff did not follow COVID-19 social distancing guidelines. - April 2021 The reception area was updated with perspex screens, rope barriers and floor stickers to encourage correct social distancing and all staff were reminded of the requirements of COVID-19 social distancing guideline.
