Orthopaedic & Trauma (T & O)
There has been a strong tradition of orthopaedics in Norwich going right back to Benjamin Gooch.
The department now has 20 orthopaedic consultants including an academic reader at UEA. We provide an upper and lower limb and spinal service as well as paediatric orthopaedics.
Accident and Emergency (A&E)
Our Accident and Emergency department (A&E), sometimes called Casualty or the Emergency Room, has its own dedicated entrance located in the East block on Level 2. The department is open all year round, 24 hours day.
Our A&E is one of the busiest in the region and treats more than 85,000 patients a year. You can visit our Choose Well section to see what other health services are available if you need help with health problems.
Within the A&E department we treat patients with life-threatening problems in the Resuscitation area (we call it Resus). Those patients with major illnesses or injuries are treated in the area we call Trolley Bay.
Children are cared for in their own separate treatment and waiting area. A&E patients may also need to be seen by our Radiology team for x-rays or MRI and CT scans and patients with broken bones are treated in our plaster room.
Physiotherapists combine their knowledge, skills and approach to improve a broad range of physical problems associated with different 'systems' of the body.
Physical therapy is concerned with identifying and maximizing quality of life and movement potential within the spheres of promotion, prevention, treatment/intervention, habilitation and rehabilitation. By using a number of different approaches and techniques, a physiotherapist can help a person to overcome injury or short-term health problems, or manage long-term disability.
Occupational Therapy enables people to achieve as much as they can for themselves and get the most out of life. Occupational Therapists and support workers help people who have physical, mental or social problems engage as independently as possible in the activities (occupations) which enhance their health and wellbeing.
