Emergency Departments provide care for seriously ill or injured patients.

Serious means an illness or injury which could be life threatening. This can include conditions such as heart attacks, strokes, fits, asthma attacks, head, neck and spinal injuries, major bone injuries, road traffic accidents. For children and the elderly this can also include breathing difficulties, or any situation where you are concerned about serious illness.

The Trust has Emergency Departments at two of our hospital sites - University Hospital of North Durham and Darlington Memorial Hospital.
