The Emergency Department at the North Middlesex University Hospital has an annual attendance of 190,000 new patients. 27% of attendances are under the age of 16.

The department comprises of 4 streaming rooms, a dedicated initial assessment and treatment area for ambulance arrivals, a 6-bay resuscitation unit, an 18-bay majors' area, a separate treatment area for sitting patients, an urgent care centre

and a paediatric emergency department with a separate waiting area. The department had been redesigned and restructured recently to further optimise patient care.

Acute Medical and Assessment Units are in proximity to the department. There is an emergency Radiography Department adjacent to the ED which is staffed 24 hours a day. There is always A CT scanner available with excellent consultant-based radiology support.

Full emergency laboratory facilities including a well-resourced point of care testing room are available.

There is a significant trauma workload; the department is part of the London trauma network.

The department receives nearly 20% of its workload as ambulance borne. The department has a philosophy of comprehensive patient care where the initial management of the patient is undertaken in the ED and the patient then handed over to in-patient teams. There is an excellent relationship with the in-patient teams with seamless referrals. The case mix has the highest acuity in the Northeast Thames region with preponderance towards medically unwell patients.
