Royal Stoke A&E
Royal Stoke University Hospital is a regional centre for emergency and major trauma care.
We are here for people in need of highly-specialised emergency care when time matters and lives are saved thanks to the skill, experience and commitment of our teams.
Our Emergency Department is one of the busiest in the country which regularly sees 400 or more patients per day.
Only come to our ED at Royal Stoke Hospital if it's for serious, life-threatening conditions that need immediate medical attention such as persistent severe chest pain, loss of consciousness, acute confused state, severe blood loss, serious burns, broken bones, suspected stroke.
For non-emergencies, there are a variety of appropriate and timely services for patients who require urgent and emergency care which is not life threatening and will be able to help resolve your issue much quicker than ED which can be busy and subject to long waits.

How can I access an NHS dentist in an emergency or out of hours?
Getting help from a dentist
Dentists are open for urgent and routine treatments. If you're registered with a dentist, you can contact them by phone or in person.
You might have to wait for an appointment if it's not urgent.
If you need dental treatment in an emergency
- call a dentist: some surgeries offer urgent appointments at short notice
- if you do not have a dentist, find one by calling NHS 111
If you need to see a dentist out of hours
- call a dentist: their voicemail may advise where to get out-of-hours treatment
- call NHS 111 to find an out-of-hours dental service near you
Do not contact a GP, as they will not be able to offer emergency or out-of-hours dental care.
If you're in pain while waiting to see a dentist, take painkillers such as paracetamol or ibuprofen. NHS 111 can also offer other self-care advice.
