Emergency only
You should only come to the Emergency Department if you are really unwell or have had an accident.
If you do need to come to the Emergency Department, a nurse will see you and decide where you need to go for treatment.
You may then be sent to a different part of the department, depending on what is wrong with you.
Tests conducted to help you diagnose your problem:
- X-Ray
- Blood tests
- ECG
- Urine tests.
Once all your test results have arrived you may:
- be sent home
- be admitted to a ward
- be sent to the Emergency Assessment Unit (EAU) for further tests or an overnight stay
- be sent to the Surgical Assessment Unit (SAU) for further tests.
Colchester and Ipswich hospitals’ Emergency Departments and the urgent treatment centre at Colchester Hospital remain open to patients who need urgent and emergency help. If you have a health concern that’s not an emergency, but you’re thinking about coming to A&E call NHS 111 first.
