I attended ED with suspected fractured toes. Whilst this was a trivial injury, as a regular runner, I wanted to confirm the extent of the damage. I was cared for by the Fracture Care Team. One of the physios correctly guessed that I was a runner - they recognised that running was important to me and collaborated with me on goal setting to get me back running as soon as possible. As part of care planning, they ensured that I understood how to manage my injuries, and followed up with comprehensive written and visual information that was easy to understand. I was encouraged to contact them if I had any concerns, and I left feeling confident I'd be lacing up my running shoes soon.
