A & E Department

A&E departments, also known as casualty or emergency departments, are hospital units that the general public can visit without an appointment for accidents and other life-threatening conditions. A & E is open 24 hours a day.

Grace Medical Centre's Emergency Department is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This service is staffed 24 hours a day by an Emergency Medicine Consultant.

Patients who have been severely injured or who have developed a serious illness are assessed and given initial treatment and management by this department. Grace Medical Centre's Emergency Department offers both local and specialist regional services for specialties such as paediatric surgery, cardiology, stroke, and ENT (Ear, Nose and Throat).
