Resident Doctors are on strike from 7 - 13 April. Please continue to attend appointments at the hospital unless you are contacted directly to rearrange. Our hospitals will be busy, but we are still here to provide emergency care when you need it.

The video below shows you how to fit your sling:

Fitting your sling

Place a large loop over your head using your non-affected arm. Place the wrist of the affected side in the small loop. Please continue to move your hand, wrist, and elbow as advised in the care plan when removing the sling. Withdraw your wrist first, then remove the sling from around your neck.
