The Saint James Hospital Group runs Immediate Medical Care Units (IMCU) both within Saint James (Capua) Hospital in Sliema and within Saint James Hospital in Zabbar.

These Emergency Rooms are open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to provide emergency first aid, medical assessment and treatment for a wide range of accidents and emergency medical conditions. The units are staffed by motivated, dedicated and compassionate teams composed of doctors, nurses, emergency medical technicians and ambulance drivers.

 

Some examples of the services we provide:

* GP Services                                      * X-Rays

* Dressing and Bandaging              * Catheterisation

* ECG                                                    * Injection

* Ear Syringing                                     * Nebulisation

* Suturing

We also offer an ambulance service through which we can transport the patient to/from hospital for both urgent and routine cases.

Our vehicles are fully equipped and our staff has advanced training to cope with the different emergencies they might face.

 

Patient Assessment

Patients who are in immediate need of being medically visited can come to the Emergency Rooms at any time of the day or night. No previous appointment or referral is needed. We strive to ensure minimal waiting times and prioritise the most urgent cases by assessing each patient immediately upon arrival.

Should your situation require urgent surgery or admission we offer to transfer you into one of our private rooms for definitive care.

The Emergency Rooms are housed within two Hospitals that are fully equipped to provide more detailed investigations in the form of digital radiological examinations – including CT Scanning, ultrasound, x-ray examinations, MRI (in Zabbar) and PET CT Scanning (in Sliema), specialist consultations and emergency admissions. Visiting patients will have complete access to the Group’s extensive medical facilities and services if their condition so requires.
