Accident & Emergency (A&E) services

Accident & Emergency (A&E) services are hospital departments that provide immediate care for people experiencing urgent or severe health issues, such as severe injuries, chest pain, or sudden illness. They are staffed with specialized medical professionals equipped to assess, diagnose, and treat a wide range of emergencies quickly. A&E services operate 24/7 to ensure timely intervention, prevent complications, and stabilize patients before further treatment or admission. They play a critical role in the healthcare system by offering urgent care outside of regular clinic hours for those in immediate need.
