Re: What is the alternative?

Most people shouldn't be using a walk in centre, they should be using their GP but we have a problem with GP's in this country.

I'm not sure if I think minor injuries should be treated at AVH or if that should be a function of A&E at BRH.
Triage should funnel people in the right direction but doesn't.
I've found the triage system especially poor at BRH with the reception staff allowing someone to sit and wait for 30 mins to be seen by the triage nurse who described classic stroke symptoms to the receptionist. Only when I went to speak with the nursing team did triage happen.
