Accident and Emergency

A&E at the County Hospital treats range of conditions which include urgent care, emergency medical and trauma.

On arrival patients are assessed by a nurse who will determine the nature of the illness or injury and how urgent it is for them to be seen. How long patients wait will depend on the number of patients attending at the time and the complexity of their problems.
