About our Emergency Department (A&E) wait times
These times give you an idea of how long you may need to wait to be seen. There is a wait time for adults and for children (under 18).
Patients will see a triage nurse on arrival first. This is to find out how ill they are to get the treatment they need.
The wait time shows the average time, in hours and minutes it then takes for a doctor or nurse to see a patient. We will see the most urgent patients first.
The waiting time shows the most current waiting time. This will update every 15 minutes. During busy times, the wait time may be over 4 hours.
The demand in the department can change quickly. For example, a serious car accident can affect the wait time.
We are working to see patients as soon as possible.
