PUBLIC TELEPHONE
There is a public telephone
for your convenience. This is situated at the back of the waiting room
next to the public toilets.
THE
VICTORIA HOSPITAL
The hospital is next door
to the health centre and is a community hospital, which means that your
own doctor is in charge of your care there. There are medical, surgical
and maternity inpatient beds, also an x-ray department, a physiotherapy
department and casualty. If you have an accident or injury, you should
attend at casualty, not the health centre.
If you require medical
advice when the Health Centre is closed you should first telephone NHS
24 on 08454 24 24 24. If they advise you to attend the emergency centre,
this will be in the Victoria Hospital. You will be seen by an emergency
nurse practitioner and a doctor may also be called in. All dressings,
stitch removals, etc, will be done by the nursing staff at the hospital
under the supervision of your own doctor.
