At Doncaster and Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals, we host two Emergency Departments, both of which provide a 24-hour emergency service for the people of Doncaster, Bassetlaw and the surrounding area. A trained nurse will asses you as soon as possible after your arrival.

Patients are seen in order of clinical priority and not arrival time. This means you will be seen very quickly if your condition needs it, but you may have to wait longer if your condition does not need urgent treatment. If it is not emergency, contact your GP surgery or the Doncaster Same Day Health Centre.

You should only attend the Emergency Department when it’s just that, an emergency. Conditions such as:

• Unconsciousness
• Heavy blood loss
• Suspected broken bones
• A deep wound
• Chest pains
• Difficulty in breathing
• Severe burns
• A severe allergic reaction

Our Emergency Departments are located at:

• Doncaster Royal Infirmary
  Armthorpe Road, Doncaster, DN2 5LT
• Bassetlaw Hospital
  Kilton Hill, Worksop, S81 0BD
  *Please note that Bassetlaw Emergency Department does not deal with suspected strokes or significant mechanism trauma. In these instances, you should dial 999 for ambulance services or present at Doncaster Royal Infirmary. 

If you are ill or injured, but it is not an emergency, try one of the below services:

• Montagu Hospital’s Minjor Injuries Unit
  Adwick Road, Doncaster, S64 OAZ
• Doncaster Same Day Health Centre
  Cavendish Court, Doncaster, DN1 2DJ

Accident & Emergency Department – How are we doing?

Data from Accident & Emergency Departments in all acute NHS Trusts is published by the Health and Social Care Information Centre (HSCIC) monthly.  The data represents a comprehensive view of the care delivered by Accident & Emergency Departments and reflects the experiences and safety of patients and in turn supports patient expectations of high quality Accident & Emergency Services.
