EMERGENCIES

​

Minor Injuries  

NHS 111 provides information and advice from specially trained nurses who can advise you whether you need to go into hospital or whether you should see your family doctor. Call 111, free of charge, to find the right treatment. You should use the NHS 111 service if you urgently need medical help or advice but it’s not a 999 emergency or a life-threatening situation. 

 

Urgent Care Centres
Urgent Care centres (UCCs) can be found inside the main entrance to the A&E departments at:

​

• Northwick Park Hospital: 020 8869 3743

• Ealing Hospital: 020 8967 5141

 

Patients who need to be seen quickly, but who do not have life-threatening illnesses or accidents, can walk into these centres. You can receive treatment for cuts, grazes, lacerations, sprains, broken bones, bites, stings, infected wounds, minor head injuries, minor eye injuries, foreign bodies and scratches. If you go to one of these UCCs and your condition is diagnosed as being more serious, you will be referred to the A & E department.

Orthodontic emergencies

When you are undergoing Orthodontic treatment, it is unlikely to have an emergency occur. In case of any problems you may experience, you should always contact us for advice. Some common issues that can occur are: 

Broken brace: If an archwire or bracket does break, please call us straightaway and we will advise you. In the meantime:

​

• If part of the fixed brace is broken and is causing irritation or rubbing, then simply place some of the wax provided over the area to provide relief.

• If your removable brace is broken do not wear it if it is uncomfortable or is at risk of being dislodged.

• When you come in for an emergency appointment, the orthodontist or therapist will make your brace comfortable or repair it where necessary
