Going to the Emergency and Urgent Care Centre - Bronglais Hospital

The hospitals are busy because of Coronavirus and the hospital might look different to what it normally does.

If you need to come to hospital because you are hurt or are unwell, you may arrive by ambulance. You will be taken into the Emergency and Urgent Care Department.

If you come by car, park in the visitors car park on the bottom floor and follow the red signs for the Emergency and Urgent Care Centre.

Go into the Emergency and Urgent Care Centre

If you are coming from another part of the hospital, follow the red signs for Emergency and Urgent Care Centre.

Go to reception. You will be asked questions including your name, address and why you have come to hospital.

You will be asked to wait in the waiting area. Do not sit on the seats with white posters on – this is to make sure that people do not get too close to each other.

Someone will call your name and take you into a clinic room. A nurse or doctor will ask you more questions about your illness or injury. You may be asked to sit in the waiting room again.

You will be taken to a cubicle and examined by a doctor. You will be given the treatment that you need.

Children and younger people will have their treatment in this area, it’s called Paediatrics.

If you are well enough you will be able to go home, the doctor or nurse may give you advice about how to care for your injury or illness. They may give you medicine or tablets to take home. If you are not well enough to go home you will stay in hospital, you will be moved to a bed on a ward.
