If you've had experience of using our services and would like to make a comment then please contact the Patient Advice and Liaison Service (PALS). Your views are very important to us and we would like to hear where you think improvements are needed or where things have gone so well that you would like to share your thanks or gratitude with the staff involved. When things have not gone so well then you can be sure that we want to hear from you, so please get in touch with PALS.
During your stay in hospital you will meet a number of different members of staff. All members of staff wear name badges, but if you are not sure who someone is or what they do, please feel free to ask them to introduce themselves and explain what they do.
If you have any questions about your treatment, please ask a doctor or a nurse.
There are lots of opportunities for you to get involved with the Trust, from volunteering to attending our public meetings, our Annual General Meeting or our hospital open day which is held every year.
We welcome and value your feedback and use the views you share with us in a number of ways to learn and make improvements as well as sharing best practice. Feedback can be provided in a number of ways.

The Petersfield Minor Injuries Unit recently changed to an Urgent Treatment Centre (UTC) on 1 June 2021 to meet the new national standards. This means the service are able to treat a wider range of conditions and is open 12 hours a day, every day and all year round between the hours of 8am to 8pm.
The UTC is an alternative to the Emergency Department for both children and adults. It provides treatment for minor injuries and illnesses that are urgent, but not life threatening.
We can help with problems such as:
• Sprains and strains
• Suspected broken limbs
• Minor head injuries
• Minor scalds and burns
• Skin infections and rashes
• Eye problems
• Feverish illness in adults and children
• Abdominal pain
• Emergency contraception
Accessing the service:
Patients are encouraged to call 111 first before arriving at the UTC as they will be able to take note of your symptoms and advise you on the best service to help you. If you need to be seen at the UTC, please book an appointment via NHS 111 as this will reduce your waiting time on site.
Patients who go directly to the UTC without calling 111 will be clinically assessed by a triage nurse or other health professional and would only be prioritised for treatment over booked appointments when clinically necessary.
Everyday 8:00am to 8:00pm
