What are peoples' thoughts on medical facilities that can't really be represented as either hospitals or pharmacies? For example small clinics for minor surgery, doctors (UK: General Practitioners' surgeries) and dentists? There are a few proposals out there already (still):
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Proposed_features/Clinic_(Medical) - AFAICT, all those votes are merely opinions :/ - I like this one. Healthcare provision in the UK can be rather... distributed. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Proposed_features/GP_Surgery - "work in progress" since a very long time ago - It'd be nice if there were an actual tagging proposal here - medical=doctor and medical=dentist would be my first suggestion; I might warm this one up myself. However, I'd accept amenity={doctor, dentist} too. amenity=pharmacy, dispensing={yes|no}, amenity=hospital, and emergency={yes|no} were accepted ages ago, so at the very least I'll tidy up this area of the Wiki tonight. Should I pull in any other pages? (What sort of tags should we use for land belonging to, say, the NHS and within the bounds of a hospital proper which doesn't have wards or clinics on it? For example, there's everything from supply sheds serving the hospital to nurses' accommodation, playing fields and gardens on one of the sites 'round here.) -- Andrew Chadwick _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
