What to Expect

Arriving at our Emergency Unit

Emergency care is prioritised clinically, not by arrival time. Here is how the process works.

1

Triage

A trained triage nurse assesses you as soon as you arrive and assigns a clinical priority. The most critically ill and injured patients are seen first, which is why waiting times can vary.

2

Assessment and imaging

An emergency physician examines you and orders any tests needed. Because radiology is on site, x-rays, CT and ultrasound can be done without transferring you elsewhere.

3

Treatment or referral

You are treated in the unit, referred to a specialist on call, or admitted. If surgery is required, our theatre complex is in the same building.

4

Accounts and medical aid

Emergency treatment is never delayed by paperwork. Bring your ID and medical aid card if you have them — our admissions team will handle authorisation afterwards.

  • ID, passport or birth certificate
  • Medical aid card, if you are a member
  • A list of current medication, if you have one to hand
