1. Review titled Lack of treatment to blistered heels

   by Pippin14 - Posted on 14 February 2023

   I was admitted from Cramlington in December last over the holiday period until the 2nd week of January with a hairline fracture in my left foot and one blistered heel. However, both heels became infected, but at no time were dressings applied to them so they bled into my slippers and though they had dried up I was discharged home. So 4 weeks of no treatment now means a nurse coming to dress them ever since and it is likely to take several weeks before I am able to be mobile again. The general running of the reablement team was perfectly satisfactory but no treatment of my feet is totally unacceptable. For someone in their eighties it can be traumatic to say the least.
