The Töölö Hospital Emergency Department covers the hospital's specialist fields: orthopaedics and traumatology, neurosurgery, oral and maxillofacial surgery, hand surgery and plastic surgery. It also operates a night-time emergency clinic for oral and dental diseases.
The department also treats neurosurgery, plastic surgery and hand surgery patients and the most demanding orthopaedic and traumatology cases from other hospital districts.
In disasters, Töölö Hospital is the organising centre of specialised medical care for the whole HUS district and, under the command of the head of the medical response team, the most important treatment unit for trauma patients.
Registration and assessing the need for care
Patients arrive at the Töölö Hospital Emergency Department on referral.
Patients are assessed on arrival by a medical professional to determine the need for care.

Patients are not treated in order of arrival, so waiting times for patients with minor injuries and symptoms may sometimes be long.
