The Lamb Foggo Urgent Care Centre will provide urgent medical care from 4pm to midnight on Thursday and Friday.

The clinic in St David’s will also be open from noon to midnight on Saturday and Sunday, a Bermuda Hospitals Board spokeswoman said.

She added: “Please note that if your condition is serious, you should go straight to the Emergency Department of King Edward VII Memorial Hospital.

“There are very limited diagnostic imaging and laboratory testing capabilities at the UCC.”

She added that the clinic can assess and treat illnesses or injuries that need immediate attention but are in no way life threatening and are not likely to need surgery or sophisticated diagnostic equipment.

She said: “This includes sprains, strains, scrapes, cuts, coughs, colds, earaches, bumps and bruises.”

The spokeswoman also reminded the public that KEMH Emergency Department doctors see and treat patients based on the seriousness of their conditions and not in order of arrival.

“Emergency Department staff will tell you your level of severity and expected wait time when you arrive.”

Approximate wait times are as follows:

• Level 1: Immediate

• Level 2: 10 to 15 minutes

• Level 3: 30 to 45 minutes

• Level 4: 1 to 2 hours

• Level 5: 2 hours or more

• To contact the UCC, call 298-7700. To contact the KEMH Emergency Department, call 239-2009.
