Our services
Accident and emergency (A+E)
We deliver emergency and acute care to all patients who arrive in the A+E department at Stoke Mandeville Hospital.
The inpatient speciality teams aim to ensure that any patient who attends is assessed and managed appropriately.
Care in an emergency
In an emergency go straight to an A+E department or dial 999 and ask for an ambulance.
Your GP can also advise you on the most appropriate service for your needs or you can call NHS 111 by dialling 111.
