Emergency Department: what happens, why you wait and what to bring
| Step | What happens at NBH Emergency | What you should do |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Arrival and triage | You are assessed by the triage nurse. Ambulance patients are also triaged and enter at the side of the department. | Explain the main symptom, when it started, what changed and any serious medical conditions. |
| 2. Waiting | A senior clinical nurse may see you while you wait and may start treatment, examinations or minor procedures. | Tell the triage nurse if pain, breathing, bleeding, confusion or symptoms worsen. |
| 3. Tests before doctor | You may have x-rays, tests or specialist consults while still in the waiting room. | Do not leave without telling staff if you have already been triaged. |
| 4. Food and drink | NBH advises not to eat without checking with the triage nurse because eating can delay tests or an operation. | Ask before drinking or eating, especially if surgery, imaging or sedation may be needed. |
| 5. Treatment area | If you need to come inside Emergency, a nurse or doctor allocates a space and briefs other nursing staff. | Repeat key medication, allergy and medical history details if asked. |
| 6. After assessment | You may need more tests, specialist review, discharge home, or admission to hospital. | Before leaving, ask for your treatment plan, medication changes, follow-up steps and medical certificate if needed. |
