Emergencies
Our accident and emergency centre never closes. Theatre, laboratory and pharmacy are staffed around the clock. You do not need an appointment and you do not need to call first.
Come in straight away for any of these
This list is not complete. If you are worried, come anyway. Nobody at Namo will tell you that you should not have.
