More information

Following your attendance in our Emergency Departments, a walk-in-centre or via GP referral, the Trauma Orthopaedic team in the Virtual Fracture Clinic will review your x-rays and medical notes electronically and decide upon an appropriate management plan for you.

What happens next?

Patient aftercare is dependent on the nature of the injury.

You may not require follow up in Fracture Clinic if our Emergency Departments, have given you the appropriate advice and your injury is simple.

Following this review, you will be offered either an appointment in Fracture Clinic, at the right timeframe for your injury, or a telephone appointment with a specially trained physiotherapist to discuss your injury and offer telephone advice.

We will contact you within seven days of receiving your Emergency Department, walk- in centre or GP referral, either by phone call or post depending on when your appointment is.

If you have not heard from us within seven days of your Emergency Department or walk-in centre attendance, please contact us on 0151 529 2536. Please ensure that you give the Emergency Department reception staff your up-to-date phone number and address.

Please be aware that phone calls made from within the hospital will appear on your phone as ‘number withheld’.
