About us
Our forward thinking, research active Emergency Department is one of the busiest in Europe with 187,990 new attendances annually. The Children's ED sees 47,019 children and young people and has recently expanded its resuscitation capability with a major capital investment.
The multi-professional Emergency Department team is key to achieving our vision of delivering 'excellent care without exception'. A new leadership and governance structure, incorporating distributive leadership and 'shared governance' principles, aims to engage all staff in the achievement of this aspiration.
The nine bayed Resuscitation Area includes two adult and one paediatric major trauma bays, and the Majors Area has 30 monitored bays. In the Urgent Treatment Unit (UTU), ambulatory illness and injury patients are assessed and treated by primary care and ED clinicians.
QMC Emergency Department is the front door for the East Midlands Adult and Paediatric Major Trauma Centre (MTC) area and in 2022 saw over 1,479 major trauma patients, many of them older people, plus many more less severely injured patients. It is one of a national network of specialist centres which concentrate expertise and resources to give the best possible care, including intensive care and neurosurgery. The East Midlands MTC is the busiest in the country and has the strongest clinical outcomes nationally.
