Director: Dr Peter Crossley Hours: 8.00am – 11.00pm daily (For emergencies outside the opening hours, patients should be referred directly to Western or Sunshine hospitals) Services offered: Adult urgent care. The department is not appropriate for time critical emergency or major trauma. How to refer: We recommend that GPs refer by telephone, as this is more reliable than fax transmission. We will require details including your name and contact details, the patient's name, date of birth, address, past medical history, current medications, the current problem and any relevant treatment or investigations. If you do send a fax, please mark the fax as 'Emergency Referral'. Where there is doubt about the appropriateness of an Emergency Department referral or if urgent assistance is sought, the duty emergency physician or registrar can be contacted on 9393 0101. For example, some subspecialty services are not available at Williamstown and if the patient is time-critical it may be useful to discuss the patient with the senior ED doctor before sending the patient. Please provide a fax number to allow us to provide prompt feedback to you. Only GPs and Specialists can refer by telephone to the Emergency Department
