Emergency appointments

 

The Department keeps some appointment slots free for emergencies. However, patients can be given these emergency appointments only if the department has received a request for an emergency referral from their hospital consultant, and the relevant outpatient clinic is in operation at that time. All emergency appointments are subject to review by a dietitian.
