Note: You should only use A&E Departments for emergency treatment for serious illness or injury.
If your GP refers you to hospital for treatment, you will usually be given an appointment to see a consultant (specialist doctor). Depending on the medical problem, you may be treated as an in-patient (where you are admitted to a ward and stay there overnight or longer) or as an out-patient (where you visit the hospital for an appointment).
Some (but not all) hospitals have Accident and Emergency departments. These departments are open 24 hours a day.
If you need immediate medical assistance (for example, because of an accident), telephone 999.
