Emergency Medicine focuses on urgent assessment, stabilisation and referral or admission for patients with sudden, severe or potentially life-threatening conditions.
Triage, urgent assessment, stabilisation, resuscitation, emergency medication, trauma assessment, emergency diagnostics, observation and referral to surgical, medical, maternity or paediatric teams.
Severe breathing difficulty, chest pain, severe bleeding, convulsions, unconsciousness, stroke symptoms, severe injury, obstetric emergency, severe dehydration, poisoning and severe allergic reaction.
Patients are seen according to severity, not arrival order. This protects patients with immediately life-threatening conditions.
Families should provide accurate information and remain available for consent and updates, while respecting clinical team priorities.
Emergency service scope and operating hours must be published only after facility readiness and clinical staffing are confirmed.
