Ambulance

The Emergency (A&E) Department at the hospital and ambulance service (999) should only be used in a genuine emergency – a critical or life-threatening situation.

If you need health advice or non-urgent care please use one of the other services such as a Walk-in Centre, telephone 111 or see your GP where possible so that emergency staff can respond quickly to people who are seriously ill or injured.

If you do need emergency medical assistance following a serious accident, illness or injury – for example, in the event of traumatic blood loss, chest pain or loss of consciousness – dial 999 for an ambulance or visit the Emergency (A&E) Department at the Queen’s Medical Centre on Derby Road.
