EMERGENCY

In an emergency, always call triple zero (000) for an ambulance. Ambulances are the safest way to be assessed, treated and transported to the right hospital for the care you need.

Triple zero (000) is a free call from any phone, mobile or phone box.

For less severe but still urgent situations, go to an Emergency Department.

There are 12 public hospital Emergency Departments in Northern NSW Local Health District and they are all available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

New equipment to help provide urgent medical care for sick babies and infants has arrived at the Tweed Valley Hospital.

The Tweed Community Clubs, a collaboration of ten local clubs, donated $32,000 to Our Kids to purchase the PANDA Warmer Resuscitaire, which has been donated to the Emergency Department at the new hospital.

Clinical Nurse Consultant Melinda Johnson from the Tweed Valley Hospital Emergency Department welcomed the donation, which will support medical teams in providing the best possible care for the littlest patients.

"At Tweed Valley Hospital Emergency Department, we love the new PANDA Resuscitaire,” Melinda Johnson said.

“It is a simple-to-use and vital piece of equipment for providing emergency care for newborns and infants. The device allows us to examine, monitor and treat babies on an integrated weigh scale on an examination bed, with everything we may need all in one spot."
