Lamb Foggo UCC will be open for Cup Match

The Lamb Foggo Urgent Care Centre will be open over the Cup Match holiday weekend.

The Bermuda Hospitals Board has announced that the St David’s facility will be open from 4pm until midnight on Thursday and Friday, and from noon to midnight over the Saturday and Sunday.

However the BHB warns that serious injuries should be treated at the King Edward VII Memorial Hospital’s emergency department.

“There are very limited diagnostic imaging and laboratory testing capabilities at the UCC,” a spokeswoman said.

“The UCC offers services to assess and treat minor illnesses or injuries that need immediate attention, but are in no way life threatening and are not likely to need surgery or sophisticated diagnostic equipment. This includes sprains, strains, scrapes, cuts, coughs, colds, earaches, bumps and bruises.

“The UCC is open every weekday from 4pm to midnight. Regular Saturday and Sunday hours are from noon to midnight.”

The spokeswoman also reiterated that at KEMH, physicians see and treat patients based on the seriousness of their condition rather than their order of arrival.

While serious cases will be given immediate priority, patients with less severe ailments would wait longer.

“Emergency Department staff will tell you your level of severity and expected wait time when you arrive,” the spokeswoman said.

If you need to contact the UCC, call 298-7700. To contact the KEMH Emergency Department, call 239-2009.
