IMMEDIATE MEDICAL CARE UNIT (IMCU)

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

Open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, the IMCUs provide emergency first aid, medical assessment and treatment for a wide range of accidents and emergency medical conditions. The units are staffed by a motivated and dedicated team of doctors and nurses who are fully qualified to provide professional immediate and critical care.

The IMCUs 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. Patients visiting the Saint James Hospital Immediate Medical Care Units will have complete access to the Group’s extensive medical facilities and services if their condition so requires.

Patients who are in immediate need of being medically visited can come to the Units at any time of the day or night. No previous appointment or referral is needed.

The Ambulance Service run by the Saint James Hospital Group falls under the IMCU’s responsibility. The ambulances are available 24 Hours a day, 365 days a year and provide for all your patient transport requirements from the home to the hospital and vice versa and also from hospital to hospital. Other services include: accident and emergency services, immediate first aid and cover for events, parties, sports activities and crowded gatherings.
