If you're unsure, it's always better to be on the side of caution and seek immediate medical attention.

For minor injuries (like sprains or minor cuts), it's often better to visit a Primary Care Clinic or your GP.

Wait times can vary based on the severity of cases being treated. Always expect delays during busy periods.

Use A & E only for emergencies. For non-urgent issues, see the alternatives listed above. A & E operates on a triage system, prioritizing those with the most urgent needs.

Arriving with all necessary medical information is helpful, but please remember that triage protocols must be followed.

In most cases, you won't be able to choose your own doctor in an A&E department. The doctor on duty will assess your condition and provide appropriate care.
