TRIAGE SYSTEM

MOST ILL, FIRST CARE

 IF IT'S AN EMERGENCY CALL 111 

We follow a triage system which decides the priority of your treatment based on the severity of your symptoms. If you are displaying urgent and acute symptoms you will always be treated with priority. Leaving your visit until evenings or weekends will mean that you may not be able to the see the doctor of your choice and may be faced with a long waiting time.   

When you arrive, please make us aware immediately if you are experiencing any of the following:

  • difficulty breathing

  • fainting

  • any chest pain or pressure

  • uncontrolled bleeding

  • coughing or vomiting blood

  • sudden severe pain

  • poisoning

  • major injuries, such as broken bones

  • severe headache

  • allergic reaction

  • high temperature

  • rash

  • sudden facial drooping or weakness in an arm or leg
