                      Hi<br>
                      <br>
                      <br>
                      <br>
                      I’m doing some internal mapping of hospitals in
                      North Wales with the<br>
                      objective of allowing people to navigate from
                      their front doors to the front<br>
                      desk of a relevant hospital department in our
                      accessible journey planner. I<br>
                      haven’t been able to find a definitive way to tag
                      a reception desk – can<br>
                      anyone help me with this please? Is their agreed
                      approach to doing this?<br>
                      <br>
                      Thanks!<br>
                      <br>
                      Will<br>
