After registration you will be assessed by a registered nurse or doctor. The triage nurse will ask you about your health problem and assess the severity and if you need treatment in the department.
When you have your health assessed, you will be seen by either a doctor or an ENP; these are experienced nurses who have trained to be able to assess minor injuries and conditions.
The assessment of your problem should be relatively quick but may take longer should you need further tests or X-ray which take time to process. Below are some of the other specialties you may be referred to:
- Medicine
- Surgery
- ENT (Ear, Nose and Throat)
- Paediatrics
- Orthopaedics
- Gynaecology
- Obstetrics
Please be aware that we do not offer an emergency dental service in this department. If you are registered with a dentist and have an urgent dental problem, you should contact them in the first instance or telephone 0161 476 9649. |
