Adult Emergency Department and Paediatric Emergency Department

Should a health problem arise, in the first instance, call your GP.

In the case of a life-threatening emergency, dial 15 (SAMU) or 112 (European emergency number).

If you have a health problem which cannot wait for doctor’s surgery opening times, don’t go to the emergency department, instead dial 15:

  • you will receive medical advice
  • you will be put through to an on-call doctor
  • you will be referred to hospital if required.
