The main foyer seems to be fine

"The main foyer seems to be fine"

About: Craigavon Area Hospital

(as a staff member posting for a patient/service user),

I have been here for a couple of hours just waiting in the emergency department.

The main foyer seems to be fine, there is plenty of seating and a shop and stuff. There is a good amount of information around the place too. 

I think a good inclusion for the main foyer is a coffee shop or café that people could use while the wait on people visiting different areas of the hospital. I know there is a canteen but it isn't the easiest accessed, so a small café here would be good.

Good afternoon Decde74 - thank you for sharing your experience while attending at Craigavon Area Hospital. We did use to have a small coffee bar in the main foyer but this was closed during Covid. It is however now opened up in a portacabin outside the main entrance to the hospital and serves a good selection of hot and cold snacks.

I am glad to note your comment about lots of information about, we do like to try to keep relevant up to date information displayed for our service users.

Kind regards

Elsie McCready
