Feedback
'Most impressed as a senior citizen (only in age - not attitude) to feel that I was treated as well as any young person.' JG
Feedback from our patients is important to us. After recent feedback from patients we now provide more information leaflets in reception and are in the process of making our treatment rooms more attractive.

Dr. Nick Webborn is a member of the London 2012 working party organising the sports medicine services that will be used at the Olympic and Paralympic games. Nick will attend the next planning meeting on 24th September at the Joint Services Medical Rehabilitation Unit at Headley Court. This is the rehabilitation unit where many of our injured servicemen now go for care following their initial treatment at Selly Oak Hospital in Birmingham. Headley court is the same rehabilitation unit that Nick attended following his injury in 1980 and where he subsequently worked for six months while still in the Royal Air Force. It was this experience that was probably responsible for him developing his interest in sport and exercise medicine. |
