"Minor Injuries Visit"

I visited minor injuries in July and found the staff very friendly and efficient.

The only negative comments I have is regarding the lack of water for patients to drink while waiting.

I was in the hospital for 4 hours - in the minor injuries waiting room, then an hour in the xray waiting room and back to minor injuries.

I realise there is a cafe but if you leave the waiting area and you are called, you lose your place.

Other people were also trying to find water as it was a very hot day.

I asked a member of staff if there was a water machine and she looked at me as though I was mad.

I visited Winchester hospital yesterday (outpatients dept) and they had water machines for patients.

Remembering to bring a bottle of water when you're heading to minor injuries isn't the first thing you think of so would be good if water was available.
