Please give your name, contact details, identification, and any medical information you have to the registration team. If you cannot speak, a family member or friend can help.

What to expect
Before you arrive
If it is safe to do so, please bring your identification, a list of your medications, allergies, and any recent test results. Your safety comes first — never delay coming in to collect papers.
On arrival
You will be registered and assessed by our triage nurse. Waiting times depend on how urgent each patient's condition is, and can change quickly as new patients arrive.
During your visit
Our care team may order tests, imaging, or medication, or may admit you, keep you for observation, or arrange transfer, depending on what your condition needs.
If symptoms get worse
Please tell a member of staff straight away. Do not wait quietly if pain, breathing, bleeding, weakness, or confusion is getting worse. We would rather check twice than miss a change.
