Our emergency department at Kingston Hospital is very busy today.

We’re here for those who need us, but if your illness or injury is less urgent you will be waiting longer and we may redirect you to another service.

If you need urgent care, you may be seen more quickly at our urgent treatment centre (UTC) at Teddington Memorial Hospital, which is open until 8pm.
