Choose the right NHS service for your needs
Our urgent and emergency care services are currently very busy.
The Emergency Department (ED) is for serious and life-threatening conditions. We prioritise patients based on clinical need, meaning those who are most seriously ill or injured will be treated first.
If you have a serious or life-threatening emergency, please attend the ED or call 999. If your condition is not urgent, you may face a lengthy wait.
Choosing the right NHS service can help you get the care you need more quickly and ensures our emergency teams are available for those who need them most.
