It was a very long wait
It was a very long wait considering the amount of people waiting. I understand that emergencies come first which I have no problem with but I still found time between seeing each professional was extensive. As the hospital is undergoing building works it was difficult to access the entrance to a&e and there were very few clear signs. Drinks machines had been removed due to building work, water was on the reception desk but I was offered no help in getting the water despite struggling to get it, I attended on my own so had no additional help. The seating is uncomfortable, particularly when you are waiting for over 4 hours. A shorter wait, or better system, I could have been sent to x-ray after seeing the nurse instead of waiting an hour to see the doctor to then be sent. Also a follow up after the x-ray with the doctor, i was seen by a nurse who bandaged me up. After being sent for x-ray I was given no feedback on the results, I had to ask the nurse for it myself. Better access to the entrance, i had to park at the other side and walk, as it was a knee injury I was attending with this was difficult and there wasn't adequate signage.
