Accidents and Emergency (A&E) services

Accidents and Emergency (A&E) services are hospital departments that provide urgent care for serious injuries or sudden health issues requiring immediate attention, such as severe injuries, chest pain, or difficulty breathing. They operate 24/7 to address life-threatening conditions and prevent worsening health problems. A&E teams include doctors, nurses, and specialists equipped to quickly assess, stabilize, and treat patients. These services are designed for urgent but non-life-threatening illnesses as well, ensuring prompt care when regular doctor appointments aren’t an option. If you experience a critical health emergency, visiting an A&E department ensures rapid access to specialized medical assistance.
