City ED Malling Health and Minors service move
November 8, 2019
Building works to deliver the new integrated children’s ED and paediatric assessment unit at City Hospital have now started. This will require a number of temporary changes. The first of these is the move of Malling Health GP and Minors services to the former fracture clinic which took place Wednesday 6 November. These services are now operational in the new location.
Patients will continue to report to the main ED reception on arrival and if streamed to the Malling Health GP or Minors service will be asked to follow the yellow floor arrows to the new areas located in the former fracture clinic location. The majority of patients will then receive their care in the new areas and be discharged from there. If patients require an X-ray they will be escorted to and from the ED X-ray rooms by a colleague.
Contact numbers for the new locations are:
- Malling Health reception – 4400
- Nursing stations in Minors – 5773, 5771 & 5772
Opening times will remain the same:
- Malling Health – 10am-11pm
- Minors – 8am-10pm
Outside of these times all ED patients will be seen in the main ED Department.
Malling Health will remain in the old fracture clinic area until the move to Midland Met and Minors is expected to move back to ED in April next year.
