Launch of Phone First Service for Adult Patients with Minor Injuries

Patients who have minor injuries should call 02896 159 444 to be triaged by phone before being advised of the next steps to take. 

Phone First has been introduced to address ongoing capacity issues across Emergency Departments which has results in longer waits for your constituents aged 16+ with minor injuries. This does not affect patients who are experiencing potentially life-threatening illness or injury, who should call 999 for urgent medical attention. 

The Phone First service has been operational across Northern, Southern and Western Health Trusts for some time with Belfast Trust launching the service on 9th January 2024.

The service will operate 8am to 6pm Monday to Friday (excluding Bank Holidays). Patients who require care outside these hours should attend the Emergency Department or call the GP Out of Hours service. 

Phone First - Make sure you phone First before going to the Emergency Department at the Royal Victoria Hospital or the Mater.
