About our emergency departments

Our emergency departments have resuscitation units, designated paediatric units and a minor injuries unit, which offers assessment and treatment for minor injuries such as sprains and strains. We also have a short-stay units, in both departments, for patients needing a few hours of acute treatment but who do not need to be admitted to hospital.

There is also an acute treatment service for stroke patients at Frimley Park Hospital and our cardiology service can provide 24-hour specialist intervention for heart attacks, both in Frimley Park and Wexham Park hospitals.

After your arrival at the emergency department, please register at the reception desk, and then a doctor or nurse will assess your condition and decide on the next best course of action. This is called triage and will ensure that people with the most serious conditions are seen first.

The emergency department is linked to every other department in our hospitals, and we can offer all emergency diagnostics, medical and surgical assessment, and urgent treatments.
