The Emergency Department aims to provide safe, timely, effective person centred care by appropriately assessing and managing patients with a clear disposition plan, be it discharge or admission to a wide range of specialties provided by the health service. This service will be delivered in a, kind and compassionate manner, enhanced through teaching, research and the development of new technologies, processes and models of care.
