Registration and assessing the need for care
Take a number from the ticket machine and wait for your turn to register as a patient.
At the emergency room, the patient's need for care and urgency is first assessed, and the patient will be seen by a nurse or a doctor or placed in a treatment area for monitoring. If necessary, the patient is admitted to hospital.
If the patient's condition does not require emergency care, the patient is advised to contact their own health centre.
Patients are seen in order of urgency. This is why the waiting times can vary regardless of the order of arrival.
Nurse's consultation
Some of the emergency patients are seen by a nurse. The nurses who see emergency patients have been specially trained, and they will always consult a doctor when necessary.
Visiting the emergency department and patient inquiries
There are no specific visiting hours. Emergency patients undergo treatment and examinations, and the staff will interview them. To ensure the privacy of patients, accompanying family members are advised to wait outside the consultation room.
