"Speedy visit to Minor Injuries"

Unfortunately we had to visit the minor injuries unit at Stratford hospital due to an ankle injury this morning. Arrived at 1145 and were promptly checked in. We saw a nurse practitioner about 10 mins later and after a quick examination we went off for an x-ray. The wait there was less than 10 minutes, then it was back round to minor injuries where they instantly reviewed the x-ray and diagnosed just a severe sprain. From coming in to leaving was around 45 mins. Much speedier than going to a&e, and arguably a better use of NHS resources
