Assessment when care cannot wait

Emergency care focuses on urgent illness and injury. Patients are assessed on arrival so that care can be prioritized according to the seriousness of their condition.

Areas of care

  • Urgent illness assessment
  • Injury assessment
  • Initial stabilization and coordination of further care

Contact the hospital to confirm available services and referral requirements.

What to expect

An initial assessment helps the team understand the immediate concern. Waiting times can vary because patients with more serious conditions may be seen first.
