Noble's hospital provides a dedicated 24-hour Emergency Department service for people who live or are visiting the Isle of Man.
All patients are assessed by a nurse using the triage system and will then be seen by clinical priority. Understandably, the more serious injuries or illnesses are treated first.
When to use -
The function of the Emergency Department is to treat patients who have either suffered a serious injury or accident, or, who are suffering from a sudden and serious illness or condition.
Anyone suffering from the conditions listed below please go straight to Emergency Department or call an ambulance by dialling 999:
- suspected heart attack
- chest pain
- stroke and transient ischaemic attack (TIA)
- unconsciousness
- heavy blood loss
- suspected broken bones
- deep wounds such as stab wounds
- severe breathing difficulties
- head injury
When not to use -
- coughs and colds - best stay at home or see local pharmacist
- old injuries or joint problems - best seen by your GP, at least initially
- queries about medication - best dealt with by your GP
- toothache - best seen by a dentist
- to get a 'second opinion' rather than using the GP service
- attend because you can't get a GP appointment until the next day
