The newly refurbished emergency department (ED) has two assessment rooms, eight rapid assessment bays, fourteen cubicles, four high dependency bays, and five beds in resus. It has a separate paediatric area, minors area and a 10 bedded clinical decisions unit.
We have a variety of patients that attend ED, from MI’s, strokes, trauma, minor injuries, seizures, falls/collapse and shortness of breath
We are close to Gatwick airport and the M25 and M23. We are a Trauma centre and we see a variety of trauma patients.
We have a designated full time Practice Development Nurse for the Emergency Department, who provides training and access to course within and outside the trust.
We are a friendly team and have a great working collaboration, and a great and supportive matron.
