The Lamb Foggo Urgent Care Centre will be closed tonight, according to Bermuda Hospitals Board.

A spokeswoman said nursing resources were being redeployed to the Emergency Department at King Edward VII Memorial Hospital.

“The ED is low on nursing staff tonight due to unplanned absence as well as a number of unfilled vacancies that are in the recruitment process,” she added.

“This temporary redeployment of staff is to ensure adequate staffing to safely manage continued high demand for all patients who require emergency care.

“BHB will open its ‘Fast Track’ service in the Emergency Department from 4pm this afternoon for people who would normally have attended the UCC, or people visiting the ED with non-urgent medical conditions. “Individuals with genuine medical emergencies will be seen as usual.”

She added that the UCC is expected to open again tomorrow for its normal hours of operation.
