Attended Heatherwood Minor Injuries Unit in Ascot today with our boy where an X-Ray revealed a fracture after an injury playing football at school. All the staff were fantastic and helpful, the one observation we would make is that the unit did feel a little understaffed though we would always prefer to use Heatherwood for minor injuries than travel to St Peters (Wexham Park is out of the question). One other thing I called 111 to see whether they had info on waiting times for A&E depts as our child was in quite some distress and they weren't immediately aware of Heatherwood as an option.
"Staff took great care of our 9 yr boy with a greenstick fracture"
