Full Decision

Summary

Ms C complained about the treatment she received at Wishaw General Hospital when she attended the emergency department (ED) after a road traffic accident.

We took independent advice from a consultant in emergency medicine. We found that Ms C had been correctly triaged (a process in which things are ranked in terms of importance or priority) when she attended the ED, that the history taking had been of a good standard, the examination carried out was thorough and of a good standard and the treatment was reasonable. Therefore, we did not uphold Ms C's complaint.
