Emergency Treatment
We have a well equipped treatment room and skilled practice nurses who work with the doctors to provide care in a range of emergencies.
For problems such as chest pain or difficulty breathing it may be appropriate to call “000” and be attended to by a paramedic.
Two serious conditions requiring immediate ambulance attendance at your home include heart attack and stroke – see links below. Call 000.
In the case of injuries or accidents we can repair wounds and apply plasters. We can provide emergency support prior to the patient being transferred to hospital.
