What we do
The emergency department at
the Bristol Royal Infirmary (BRI), the main teaching hospital in
Bristol, serves the centre, south and northwest of the city, sees
over 75,000 a year. Within the department, there are over 250
members of staff in the team.
Patients are cared for in
several areas:
- Fast flow is where minor
injuries and non-life threatening conditions are
treated.
- Majors is where unwell
patients with a variety of illnesses, often brought to the hospital
by ambulance are cared for.
- Two resuscitation rooms are
used for the assessment and treatment of our sickest patients who
require immediate help for their life-threatening
emergencies.
- We also have an observation
ward.
A dedicated children's emergency
department providing emergency care in a child friendly environment
is located next to the adult service and offers separate facilities
for patients under the age of 16.
Location: A333 - level

Audio guides to the Bristol Royal Infirmary emergency
department
In partnership with the Bristol Sight Loss Council, we have
developed a series of audio guides to help improve accessibility
for blind or visually impaired people visiting the emergency
department.
The guides describe what you will find during a visit and
provide step-by-step instructions on how to make your way around
the department and its facilities. Listen to the
guides.
