How Long Will I Be Waiting ?
We aim to see patients as soon as we can. Some patients with a less serious problem may have to wait a little longer. Our dedicated Fast Track area is available for patients with less serious injuries where our standard is to get patients seen and discharged within two hours of arrival. The length of time a patient will be waiting will depend on their complaint and how sick they are. It is not possible for us to give a precise time, but a member of the nursing staff will make an assessment on arrival and allocate one of our clinical team who will see patients at the earliest possible opportunity.
