Share Your Story

Did you know that if you have been treated by us the only way we can hear how you are doing is if you get in touch?

We love to hear from our former patients and are always happy to welcome to our base! Please get in touch if you have been treated by our Critical Care Team by emailing: pr@gwaac.com

“I would recommend previous patients to share their experiences as it can help you to come to terms with some of the psychological trauma you might be suffering from a serious accident. It helps spread awareness about the service and can encourage people to donate to the charity.”
