Which patients we can see

We welcome walk-in patients, and we also offer GPs a phone triage system on 2939 999 from 8am to 8pm Monday - Friday (for following day appointments where suitable) and all day Saturday (8am-8pm). We will also provide a same day discharge letter for all patients referred to us by GPs. If you have any questions, please phone the Emergency Department.

The Emergency Department is a purpose designed facility in Dublin's most advanced hospital. All patients will be seen and treated by fully qualified Consultants in Emergency Medicine. Our Consultants have the back up of our full service hospital, including:

• Laboratory
• Radiology - twelve radiology modalities - General Electric showcase site for Europe
• Physiotherapy - full team of chartered Physiotherapists
• Pharmacy
• Nursing support from our experienced team

Most importantly - surgical, medical, cardiology, orthopaedic and sub speciality beds are available immediately for patients requiring admission. A full range of outpatient clinics is available on site for follow-up.  As a Consultant-delivered service, UPMC Beacon Hospital ED will treat most emergency conditions.

Which patients we cannot treat:

• Children under 16 years
• Patients with acute psychiatric conditions
• Obstetric patients

As UPMC Beacon Hospital is not a public hospital, it will not take public ambulance traffic.
